Cranbourne Race 7 - Ladbrokes Sabaj Mile (Bm62)

FINANCE SHOGUN (1) finds the right race. He won three on the bounce prior to last start, tackling a stronger in town with a race that didn't really work out. Comes back a notch here and should take plenty of catching. COULDTHISBETHEONE (2) wasn't far away last time at Sale having won narrowly prior at Yarra Valley. He maps for an ideal run and back slightly in trip suits. DANCING DOLLY (8) was heavily backed first up at Bendigo, just fair there when battling into fourth. She can improve quickly and expect her to kick up and hold the leader's back from the inside gate. IMMERSE (7) made good improvement second up at Sale and can go on with it from an ideal draw. THE NEGOTIATOR (3) hasn't been far away of late and is in the each-way mix.

Second run back. First-up after five months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Bendigo 0 - 62 on March 27 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Louis Barthas carrying 58kg at $1.70. Previously second-up favourite; won by 3 len at Kilmore F&M Mdn-Sw September 14 over 1607m in soft going defeating Washington Lilac with 58kg at $2.05. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
