Cranbourne Race 5 - Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Final - Series 2 (Bm84)
Tricky 955m contest. UNFLINCHING (3) didn't fire a shot first up last time in, beaten a long way in one of these races at Moonee Valley. Not sure what happened there, but he's much better than that and at his best, the best horse in this race. He's since spelled, won a jumpout (as he should) and can atone. PHILOSOPHER (2) won easily here over 1000m last time out in a BM78. He'll sit off them and will be charging late with clear air. SHIRSHOV (5) drops sharply in the weights from a solid run here last time. He's good enough on his day. KATSU (1) couldn't shoulder the massive weight fresh and struggled but is better than that and could be a quick improver. ALWAYS ENUFF (6) was in the market behind PHILOSOPHER last time and has minor claims.
