Cranbourne Race 1 - Mark Gurry & Associates Pace
PICKLE IT (4) ran third last start at this track over 2080m, beaten 2.5 metres. Big chance in a similar assignment. CHASING THE WIND (1) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2080m at this track. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. GOZO MAJOR (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 2180m at Kilmore. Can turn things around. DOT BALL (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 2200m at Ballarat on June 25.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Evileye at Warragul over 1790m on June 8 at $126. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Nivekalon Eagle at this track over 2080m on June 14 at $4.20. Leading contender.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1650m at Bendigo was 8th-15.91 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Onecrowdedhour (1:59.30) on June 17 at $19.

Should be at peak fitness and can turn things around.

At her previous start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo was 5th-5.1 at the bell, beaten a neck by Elleegant Lane (2:40.40) on June 17 at $17. Solid top-three prospects.

Comes here second-up after seven-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Sr2) over 2125m at Penrith, well beaten by Between Decks (2:38.60) on May 7 at $81. Not enthused.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 13 m by Freak Out (2:45.10) on June 18 at $5. Before that, surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr1) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat, beaten 25 m by The Final Dance (2:01.10) on June 11 at $18. Certainly worth another chance.
