Cranbourne Race 8 - Cirka (Bm62)
TENNESSEE BOUND (8) was a dominant winner on debut at Kyneton when backed into a short-priced favourite, sitting on speed and coming right away to win by 2.25 lengths in good time. This looks a suitable progression and with any natural improvement she can make it 2/2. CHERRABAH (9) was okay when sent out at $1.80 first up at Kilmore but has shown ability to date and will strip much fitter. Wary. KING WEST (1) struggled fresh at Hamilton over 1100m but was firmly in the market there in a stronger race won by a good horse. There were post-race excuses offered and he could bounce back quickly here. LADY SADLER (14) resumes, now with the Clinton McDonald yard. She may need a bit further but watch the betting for a gude.

Second run back. First-up after a year failed to make an impression; second last of 7 at Hamilton Bm70 on October 11 over 1100m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Big Sexy with 58kg at $4.20. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw September 5 2024 over 1200m defeating Reina Isabella with 58kg at $2.30. Possible improver.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.25 len at Kyneton Mdn-Sw October 9 over 1103m defeating Uyuni carrying 57.5kg at $1.85. Has upside and can make it two on the trot.

Racing second-up today. Last run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Kilmore Nmw on October 13 over 1200m, 2 len behind Porsha Crystal carrying 58.5kg at $1.80. At only start last preparation favourite; won by 3.5 len at this track 3yo F Mdn-Sw March 21 over 1200m in soft going defeating Written Story with 57kg at $3.80. Plenty of improvement to come, profiles as an improver.
