Cranbourne Race 3 - Nzb Airfreight Pace
BETA THAN LOVE NZ (1) broke last start but still managed to fill a minor placing over 1609m at this track, finishing a head from the winner. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. Has the benefit of a good draw. Only needs to get things right to be in contention again. ICANMOTOR (4) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last six starts, most recently recording a third over 1690m at Shepparton. Leading hope in a similar race. GOODTIME MAE (8) is in the mix following a fifth at her most recent appearance over 2200m at Ballarat. OLLY ODD POTTS (5) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1690m at Shepparton last time out.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Normandy Nugget at Ballarat over 2200m on October 7 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Shezabluechip at Shepparton over 1690m on October 13 at $2.60. Should be in the finish again.

Didn't do much last start, then settled down to finish eighth over 1609m at this track last start. Before that hung in on scoring up, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 9th-20 beaten 16 m by Home And Dry (1:57.20) on September 13 at $34. Unlikely to threaten.
