Cranbourne Race 5 - Nzb Standardbred Pace

NORMANS GIRL (3) finished fifth last start over 1720m at Melton, beaten 8 metres, after a good win at Kilmore the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and rates a primary contender if she is at her best. ALPHA CRUCIS (2) settled in the leading division then found the lead only to be claimed in the straight and finish second last start over 2080m at this track, that run on the back of an unplaced effort at Charlton the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can give this a mighty shake. ELLEEGANT LANE (7) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1690m at Kilmore eight days ago. Top-three prospects. STAR RULER NZ (1) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 1680m at Terang on March 27. In the mix from the low draw.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1680m at Terang, beaten 12 m by Huxham Chubb (2:05.80) in NR up to 45 on March 27 at $11. At his previous start 7th (Sr2) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 22 m by Skyz Above (2:43.60) in NR up to 42 on March 19 at $16. Much better gate this time and gets a chance to show his best.

Showed ability the race before when she won by 1.4 m (Sr1) held up early, at Kilmore (2:05.80) beating Whirily Maurz in 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 26 at $3.90. Drawn well and can do much better.

Just managed to hang on and win by a head (Fr4) at Kilmore (3:31.10) beating Son Of A Broad in 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 26 at $4.40 at the bell was leading 0.89. This race will be harder than that win. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was fifth behind Cresco Threepeat at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on March 8 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Home And Dry at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 41 to 46 on March 25 at $9.50. One of the better chances.
