Cranbourne Race 1 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Mdn Plate
GATHERS NO STONE (1) gets his chance as a seven-start maiden. He's placed in his past two, beaten under a length at Echuca two back, then solid as favourite here last time. He maps for every chance again and this looks very winnable. CHOICE ENCOUNTER (3) is a gelding by Doubtland on debut for the Robbie Griffiths yard. He's had plenty of trial experience, winning his latest at Caulfield Heath nicely. He won't need to be a star to be going close. WHITE HOT MAMA (8) resumes having shown ability in three runs last time in, behind a very smart one in Educated on debut at Tatura, then runner-up her next couple. She can be an improver this time in. BEAU STRADA (6) struggled at Yarra Valley last time but had been solid fresh and is in the mix. I'M SAVVY AS (4) did enough fresh to be an each-way hope.
