Cranbourne Race 3 - Hertz Dandenong Mdn Plate
Look to be two key chances. GATHERS NO STONE (2) progressed nicely last time out, beaten only three-quarters-of-a-length, over 1209m at Echuca. He's gradually improved at each run for the campaign and hasn't been in one as winnable as this. Main danger looks to be MR CRAFTY (3), who drifted back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth over 1175m at Albury. This looks a great progression for a horse who appears to have more upside than most rivals. DON'T TELL HARRY (1) did little in five runs with Scott Cameron but is now with Rory Hunter who has got him trialling nicely, so improvement would not shock against this opposition. ASSERTIVE SWAY (5) didn't get warm first-up, beaten 7.5 lengths when fourth here, but she will be better for that and can show up in a race of this quality. NIKEPHOROS (4) generally runs his best races over a little further than this but gets the chance to run his best race yet fresh.

Resuming after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign second last of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw December 28 over 1300m, 13 len behind Itazura carrying 59.5kg at $151. When resuming last campaign sixth of 12 at Mornington Mdn-Sw December 5 over 1200m, 5 len behind Magic Money carrying 59.5kg at $51. Yet to place in five runs but jumpouts this time in have been encouraging.

Racing well recently. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1209m, 0.8 len behind Western Lane with 59.5kg at $15. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on March 12 over 1200m, 4 len behind Chowdown with 59.5kg at $71. Been improving all prep and this looks the most winnable race he's contested this time in.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 5th of 11 at Albury Super Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1175m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Borjnord carrying 59kg at $31. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on August 18 over 1400m, 2 len behind Auto Max with 59.5kg at $16. Strips fitter and looks to have more upside than most rivals here.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Traralgon Mdn-Sw November 1 over 1900m, 11 len behind Captain Cat carrying 59.5kg at $10. When resuming last campaign fifth of 11 at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw August 12 over 1200m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Wise Inlaw carrying 59.5kg at $151. Better over further and generally improves deeper into the prep, but not much depth here.

Second run back. First-up after three months in a small field at this track F&M Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1200m, 7 len behind Jewel Of Heaven with 58kg at $151. Previously second-up of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw on August 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; 12 len behind La Astro Chat carrying 58kg at $201. Never a factor first-up but this is a step back in class and she'll have come on from that.
