Cranbourne Race 2 - Ladbrokes More On Tote Win Mdn Plate
ENGULF (10) didn't have much luck on debut at Ballarat when getting trapped away on the fence before getting home strongly late. Shouldered a handy price tag at the sales being a half sister to G1 Oakleigh Plate winner Shamal Wind (2015). Suspect she's got plenty of improvement to come and with even luck she can get off the mark this time. POCKET WATCH (5) looks an above average debutant for the sharp Grahame Begg yard. The Tagaloa colt has been fitted with three jumpouts on track Micky Dee takes the ride. Has the right grounding to make an immediate impact. VESPERS (9) resumes. Her Pakenham placings last campaign and a recent jumpout here make her a genuine threat if forward enough. GANGLAND (3) was beaten as an odds-on favourite on debut, but a Ballarat jumpout win and first-time blinkers give him scope to return sharper. Not underestimating.

Has been safely held in both runs since resuming, finishing seventh at Mornington last start after settling rearward and offering little when beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The easier company helps marginally, but he was also second last at Kilmore two back and remains unplaced in eleven starts. Must find plenty.

Rises from country company after finishing fifth at Sale, where he began slowly, sat close enough and failed to quicken when beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. He was also safely held at this track the run prior, but third-up fitness and a 3kg claim are positives. The win record is thin, but he can be around the placings.

Placed on debut at Echuca, settling just off the lead and working home evenly for third, beaten two and a half lengths behind Daynes Dahwun. The move to 1200m is new, and he did race keenly in the middle stages, so there is still polish to come. The untried 1200m keeps him in the place bracket.

Debuts for the Grahame Begg stable after three trials at this venue, so there is a solid grounding for a first starter. The yard has a useful debut record and Michael Dee is an obvious positive booking. Profiles as a genuine winning chance on debut.

Had genuine interference when checked passing the 300m first-up at Yarra Valley, so the seventh, beaten nine and a half lengths, is not the whole story. She had been near the top of an open market there and now draws barrier one, which gives her the chance to receive a kinder run. Still winless and unplaced, but she can improve into a place.

Makes her debut with first-time blinkers and comes off a close second in her latest trial at Moe, which gives some indication of readiness. She is a $12,000 purchase and the race-day evidence is still absent, so there is limited substance to build a strong winning case. Race-day proof is missing, so others look safer.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a Terang ninth when last seen, beaten just under nine lengths after being tightened early and bumped late. A Flemington trial win and first-time blinkers offer some encouragement, and Jye McNeil is a positive booking. Race form remains thin, so she has plenty to prove.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing third at Pakenham on heavy ground, beaten just over four lengths in a small-field Mdn. She had earlier run fourth in a F Mdn at the same venue after racing wide throughout, so there was genuine consistency in that first campaign. Wet-track record adds to the case.

Made ground from the rear on debut at Ballarat after beginning slowly, finishing fifth over 1000m and beaten just over two lengths by Skjaldmo. The move to 1200m is untried, but first-time blinkers look a logical way to sharpen her, and the $340,000 yearling purchase is a half sister to Group 1 winner Shamal Wind. Untried at 1200m, but she brings the best upside.
