Cranbourne Race 1 - Ladbrokes Tote Win +10% In October Mdn Plate
Anything but your run-of-the-mill 3YO provincial maiden with no shortage of debutants from top stables who have impressed at the jumpouts. It'd be a shock if a few of them didn't turn out to be metro class. Siding with the Freedmans' Wootton Bassett colt STRIKE PACKAGE (3) who looked good in his latest jumpout at Caulfield when he finished stylishly under a light ride before being eased up late. Mark Zahra rode there and this is his only ride for the night. Home Affairs gelding SPLENDACIOUS (2) has finished second at his last two jumpouts and caught the eye finishing hard from the back in the latest. The inside alley should help him hold a spot. GO MAGGIE MAE (8) is drawn the other end of the scale out wide but showed good early speed in the latest trial, when she was a decisive winner. TRUANT (4) looks the best of the raced brigade and has fitness on his side after the first-up second. LONNEGAN (1) hit the line well in his latest jumpout and looks to have talent.

Gelding by Home Affairs facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Caulfield Heath on October 1 over 800m. Caught the eye when finished off strongly in latest jumpout and drawn to get chance to hold a spot.

Anthony & Sam Freedman trained three-year-old colt lining up for first race start. Won a recent trial at Caulfield Heath. Inside barrier will assist chances. Finished stylishly under a light ride to win latest jumpout and Zahra riding is a good push.

Three-year-old filly (Too Darn Hot - Bright Rubick) who was bought for AUD $ 120,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). She has six recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Pakenham over 800m on September 22. Won latest jumpout, albeit under a ride, but draws ideally.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran second last of 12 in a 3yo F Mdn-Sw at Caulfield Heath on September 16 over 1100m, 14 len behind Handee with 57kg at $31. Previously second-up 5th of 11 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on May 13 over 1000m, 3 len behind Home Invasion carrying 56kg at $17. Impossible to make a case.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Donald on September 12 over 1200m, 8 len behind Boulderoo carrying 55kg at $31.
