Cranbourne Race 6 - Decron Cotton Wool Trot
HILLWINSOME (3) has been racing very well and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 4 metres over 1720m at Melton. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. KIMBERLEYS TREE (1) was in the money at Maryborough two runs ago before finishing second at her latest appearance over 2240m at Melton, beaten 4.5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. This should be an easier assignment so she is sure to prove tough to beat. KITTY CASH (7) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 1.2 metres at this track over 2080m. THATS MY CARDIGAN (2) won two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant sixth over 1690m at Kilmore. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Live chance in a similar assignment.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Shonee at Maryborough over 2190m in a 3yo+ on June 17 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Champagne Gemma at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo+ on June 26 at $12. In fine form. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 40 m by Ijustcantseeit (2:07.00) on June 4 at $10. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2 m (Sr1) at this track (1:58.80) beating Kitty Cash in on May 24 at $6 at the bell was 5th-6.8. Among the leading players.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 4 m win (Fr2) at Melton (2:07.80) beating Queen Of Sees in on June 26 at $7.50 at the bell was 3rd-3.5. Sure to go well again.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run was well beaten after breaking at this track on January 3. Might need this run and others rate better.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2100m at Geelong, at the bell was 4th-8.91 beaten 10 m by Off Your Faceski (2:38.00) on June 19 at $8.50. Decent effort last start. Leading player.

Two runs back posted a big 7 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Melton (2:49.00) beating Steady Dream in M on June 12 at $8 at the bell was 4th-4.51. Not keen on her chances in this line-up.

Last start won by 1.2 m (Sr1) at this track (2:36.00) beating Mevia in on June 28 at $9 at the bell was 5th-10.2. A big run would not surprise.
