Cranbourne Race 1 - Ladbrokes Tote Win +10% Mdn Plate
KOTAHITANGA (10) bumped into a dominant winner on debut here but did well holding onto second after showing speed. He was in the market there and should improve now, with any luck from the wide gate he'll go one better. Wary of the well bred CAB FRANC (8) who debuted over 1100m at Caulfield Heath and just found them too sharp. He looks a sharp improve up in trip and will take holding out. STONEFLIGHT (13) resumes having been well backed on debut at Geelong in April. Didn't fire there but is worth keeping an eye on this time around. PINAZAKI (11) was okay behind a good one here last time. The fresh run was encouraging and he can bounce back. HANDSOME MISSILE (3) is racing consistently and an each way hope again.

Was well-supported at debut, 5th of 8 in a 3yo C&G Mdn-Sw at Caulfield Heath on September 16 over 1100m, 4 len behind Inner Gold with 58kg at $3.70. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Should relish the rise in trip and go close.
