Cranbourne Race 4 - Hertz Frankston Mdn Plate
Connections of BLUE LIGHT DISCO (1) could not have hoped to find a more suitable race than what he is presented with here. Freshened after the adequate debut in a handy Pakenham maiden, he improved again at start No 2 at the same track and then just found the nippy Catwalk Icon too slippery last start. The three starts to date have been in races of more depth than this and the only negative here is the outside gate, but the small field helps in that regard. ROUGH ENUFF (5) disappointed at Pakenham last start but was well-backed off a good run in town the start prior and might be worth another chance. WRITTEN STORY (7) was a big improver second-up when put on speed and she can give a sight from the good draw. OBON (4) did enough late on debut to suggest there is something to work with and the 1400m here looks a suitable progression. EASY RED (3) was beaten less than a length on debut, so with that under the belt he can progress.

Recent form sound. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1200m, 2 len behind Catwalk Icon with 59.5kg at $4.80. Before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 6 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Deliberate Ploy carrying 59.5kg at $3.60. Made headway last time. Ready for a peak performance and the only negative is the outside alley.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, raced on the pace when 3rd of 13 at Kilmore F&M Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Flash Alice with 54.5kg at $5. Last start eased back early on 6th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1200m, 7 len behind Juvenal carrying 57kg at $21. Draws out again but should fare a lot better in this suitable contest.
