Cranbourne Race 7 - Lawn Rules Abell Stakes (L)
Our feature of the night and we're leaning to POP AWARD (3) who resumes. She typically goes very well fresh, close up in the G3 How Now first up last time in. Her best form reads nicely for this and Stackhouse can get her into a good spot just behind the speed. GIVE ME SPACE (4) resumes, now with the Hayes yard. One run last time in at Eagle Farm was at Listed level and he was sent around at $2.50 having run second in a Magic Millions 3yo Guineas prior to that. Off a long break here but he's absolutely good enough. SOFT LOVE (6) resumes. She was excellent first up last time in at Caulfield and will be charging at them late from back in the field. CORNICHE (2) resumes for a new yard. He's contested much stronger races than this in the past, how well he's going for the stable is the query. A LITTLE DEEP (1) is going okay. This suits, just want to see her put a field away.

At the latest run 6th of 10 at Caulfield in the G3 Bellmaine on January 31 over 1200m, 5 len behind Wrote To Arataki with 56kg at $4.80. Before that 5th of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside in the LR Xmas Stks on December 26 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Hedged carrying 58.5kg at $11. Going okay, is certainly good enough.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at this track Meteorite November 22 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Jigsaw carrying 55.5kg at $21. When resuming last campaign second of 11 at Caulfield in the LR Alinghi October 18 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Stretan Angel carrying 57kg at $15. Should be hard to hold out.

Last start 3rd in a small field at this track Bm78 on February 20 over 1200m, 2 len behind Laa De Sha carrying 59.5kg at $8.50. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading of 10 at Caulfield Bm84 on January 31 over 1100m, 4 len behind Gallant Son carrying 57kg at $26. Capable of another forward showing. This will test.
