Cranbourne Race 7 - Vhrc / Del Re National Foods Trot
DOSSIER (3) finished sixth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant eighth over 2240m at Melton at the latest appearance. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Won't find this any harder so she can return to form. KITTY CASH (1) finished fourth last start over 2080m at this track, beaten 11 metres, after a good win at this track the run prior. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Big chance if anywhere near her best. KISS AT MIDNIGHT (2) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at Melton over 2240m. THATS MY CARDIGAN (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at this track over 2080m.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fifth after a quick start, behind Hillwinsome at Melton over 1720m on June 26 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Champagne Gemma at Melton over 2240m on July 10 at $8. One of the key runners.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well beaten after breaking at Melton on July 10. The run before was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 22 m by Ijustcalledtosay (2:04.30) on July 4 at $101. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.
