Cranbourne Race 4 - Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Series 2 Heat 4 (Bm78)
DREAMZEL (4) resumes off a solid trial at Geelong. She's suited over the 955m being a sharp, short course sprinter and Meech on from barrier two looks ideal. It's an open race but she has the figures to take this out. NIMBUSTWOTHOUSAND (6) resumes. The 955m is the query for him having stretched out to 1400m last time in, but he's fairly sharp and has the ability to measure up. PHILOSOPHER (1) just found one better last time out at Geelong over 1100m. He's better suited over this trip and run well in better races than this. BLACKBERRY BOMB (7) gets in light after the claim. She was close up at Flemington last time in a good form race and did win over this route three back. PORT ALBERT (2) wasn't far away fresh and should go well.

At the latest run 6th of 13 at Flemington Bm70 on January 10 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Gallant Son carrying 58.5kg at $41. The run before that 5th of 10 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on December 26 over 1000m, 3 len behind Runlikenencryption carrying 56.5kg at $12. Thereabouts last time out. Better than recent form suggests and deserves another chance.
