Cranbourne Race 2 - Ladbrokes Spring Hosted Pots Mdn Plate
FORTUNE LINK (1) has been good in two runs back from a spell, boxing on solidly at Geelong out to 1440m last time, beaten under a length. This looks an easier race on her home track and she should take plenty of beating. MISS COMO (10) was sound on debut at Kilmore, keen behind runners but holding onto third over 1107m. Gets some headgear now to help fix that issue and the wide draw could help her get into a better rhythm. MANDRAKI (6) was okay on debut on heavy ground and good again last time at Moe in third. Fitter again, he just needs a good ride from the wide gate to be figuring. HIGHSTRUNG (4) was poor at Donald last time but had been coming along okay prior and could bounce back. GOOD HARMONY (9) is a filly by Pierro on debut who has won a jumpout leading in. Respecting with J Melham booked.
