Cranbourne Race 5 - Symal Summer Sprint Series - Heat 2 (Bm70)
NORDIC STRIKE (8) looks well placed to bring up a third straight win. He bolted in with a Stony Creek maiden first up, going right on with it here last time out in a Class 1, backed into $1.90 and coming away to win by 1.75 lengths. He drops in weight for this and looks to have the ability and figures to go on with the job. FLUENT (5) was given a good ride to win a BM66 at Sandown Lakeside last time out. She draws for every chance again here and will be hard to beat with a repeat performance. EL TERCERO (4) is a consistent sort who found the line strongly at Geelong to be beaten under a length last start. With the right tempo he'll be hard to hold out. SHAIME (6) has been good in two runs back, sticking on solidly for third at Flemington second up from a spell. She can push forward and figure prominently. PANO'S PRIDE (1) won an easier race last time and should take catching again.
