Cranbourne Race 1 - Vhrc / Gbl Properties Pace
BULLETPROOF KID (1) resumes after finishing fifth at his latest appearance at this track on April 3. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HELLOVATIME (4) finished fourth last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Shepparton over 2190m. Expecting a very good run. ROCKY PACIFIC NZ (7) broke last start and finished a distant last over 1720m at Melton, following a solid second to commence this prep. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. KISS ME MINI NZ (10) won two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she broke and finished 10 metres away in fifth over 2240m at Melton. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. This doesn't look as hard so she is capable of turning things around.

Resuming after three-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Platinum Jive at this track over 2080m on April 3 at $16. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Brings the right form to the table. Raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:33.70) beating Monsieur Flamel in on July 5 at $6.50 at the bell was 3rd-3.7. Two runs back 8th (Sr2) over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 13 m by Leonard (2:42.80) on May 3 at $2.80. This looks a far sterner task.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Lambro Mach (1:55.30) on July 5 at $61. Before that 6th (Fr2) over 2210m at Warragul, at the bell was 4th-7.8 beaten 19 m by Highlandhartbreaka (2:43.60) on June 8 at $81. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

At her previous start good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 22 m by Miss Ari (2:00.70) on June 20 at $17. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton was 5th-7.43 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Miss Ari (2:45.80) on July 4 at $8.50. Showed ability the race before when she came from midfield and won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, held up early, at Ballarat (2:02.70) beating Leavemeout in on June 25 at $6.50 at the bell was 5th-6.97. Strong contender.
