Cranbourne Race 1 - Decron Horse Care Products Pace
SUMTHIN ELSE (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 2150m at Bendigo. Primary contender based on recent form. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (2) drew a wide gate last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 40 metres into tenth at Melton over 2240m. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Meets a similar line up and he can make amends. IMA CHARMA (4) last appeared when third over 1690m at Kilmore 11 weeks ago. Keep an eye out for positive market movement. BELLA LOUISE (9) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on June 28.

First up. At the last run he 8th (Sr2) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 13 m by Leonard (2:42.80) on May 3 at $2.80. A big run would not surprise.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Some High at Melton over 2240m on June 26 at $81. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 2080m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 2nd-2.8 beaten 3.5 m by Frosty Drop (2:33.90) on June 14 at $6. Best form should see him in the finish.

Previous preparation first-up won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Gunbower (2:30.30) beating Bet Sheza Lady in on December 14 at $7.50. Rates highly on form from last prep.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Our Bella Lucia at Melton over 2240m in a M on May 29 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Midnight Alibi at Bendigo over 2150m in a M on June 24 at $3.20. Going well and expected to feature.
