Cranbourne Race 5 - Browns Sawdust & Shavings Mdn Plate
DANCING DOLLY (3) is a promising filly who has had a stop-start beginning to her career. Three campaigns to date have yielded four minor placings from as many runs, including a good effort to finish second after racing wide first-up last prep at Bendigo. Trialled well recently and looks the testing material. GROUSE MOUNTAIN (1) recorded her seventh minor placing from nine appearances when she led but found one better over 1000m at Ballarat ten days ago. Untried at this distance and has a wide alley to contend with but is racing too well to rule out. Waterhouse/Bott switch SHIVERMEPINK (7) south after a couple of decent efforts at the NSW provincials this time in work. Will lead and give them something to run down. ROYAL EGYPTIAN (6) was $81.00 but finished just three lengths away on debut last start over 1200m at Echuca. Worth some thought with the shades coming off. SORASTORM (8) hasn't been far away of late and is worth including in exotics.

Racing well. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on March 25 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Zouper Fund carrying 57.5kg at $1.55. Before that 3rd of 11 at Pakenham 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1200m, 4 len behind Flying Mean with 57.5kg at $4.20. Starting to test the patience but still a major player.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw October 19 over 1400m, soft track; 7 len behind Annotate carrying 57.5kg at $9. On debut fourth of 14 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw July 25 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Weapon Clear with 56kg at $21. Capable of a bold return.

Filly back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Bendigo Mdn-Sw November 13 over 1500m, soft track; a long neck behind Bancory Bay with 56kg at $1.30. When resuming last campaign second of 10 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw October 19 over 1400m, soft track; 1.0 len behind Annotate with 55kg at $1.80. Big chance to grab that well-deserved win.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, got back early 5th of 9 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 4 over 1100m, 6 len behind Heavenly Way with 57kg at $51. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on March 23 over 1321m, 1.3 len behind Anchor Down with 57kg at $31. Heading the right way and cannot be underestimated.

At the latest run faded in the straight 5th of 10 at Kilmore F&M Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1462m, 1.75 len behind Justadaze with 57.5kg at $7.50. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Albury Mdn on February 24 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Champ De Fleurs carrying 56.5kg at $2.15. Not far away last time. A bold showing is on the cards.
