Cranbourne Race 6 - Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Series 2 - Heat 6 (Bm70)
GENTLE STEEL (8) resumed over 1000m at Caulfield Heath and got the job done, beating a speedy horse in Celerity in the process. She's built a good little record in her short career and looks set to go on with it now from a good draw. MRS IGLESIA (10) resumed in the same race and just got too far back, hitting the line well late. If she can land closer from the low gate she'll be very hard to hold out late. CANNYWORTH (4) resumes. He's a speedy 3yo gelding who was last seen running second in an open 3yo race behind Aleppo Pine which is solid form for this. EGERTON (5) just found one better last time here when running on strongly without much luck. She'll be hard to hold out. BLACKBERRY BOMB (7) is going okay and maps for a good run.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at Flemington Bm70 on December 31 over 1000m, 4 len behind Celerity with 54.5kg at $6. Last start faded in the straight second last of 7 at Pakenham 3yo Bm64 on January 23 over 1000m, 7 len behind Wintery with 59.5kg at $5. Needs to find best.

Last start 3rd of 7 at this track Bm78 on February 6 over 955m, 0.5 len behind Port Albert carrying 53kg at $8. The race before that 6th of 13 at Flemington Bm70 on January 10 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Gallant Son with 58.5kg at $41. Capable of another forward showing. Going nicely for this, include.

Second-up. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm66 February 9 over 1000m defeating Celerity carrying 59.5kg at $4.80. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at this track Mdn-Sw July 17 over 1200m in soft going defeating Weightless carrying 57.5kg at $5. No reason she cannot get the job done again.
