Cranbourne racing tips

Race 1. (18:15) The Valley at Southside Cranbourne Maiden (1400m)

#6 – Contours @ $4.20

Contours did well to finish a close fifth on debut at Geelong in heavy conditions, and improved conditions should help his chances.

The three-year-old is bred to be a nice type, and she was always going to need a run under her belt this preparation.

Look for quick improvement at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (18:45) Ladbrokes Top 2/3/4 Betting Maiden (1200m)

#5 – Opulent Oscar @ $12.00

The Greg Eurell-trained gelding has looked good in two jumpouts, and we’re happy to put him on top in a tough race.

It’s always hard to work out the debut runners, but his first and second finishes at the Cranbourne jumpouts bode well.

Based on that, he goes in the mix.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (19:15) RSL Poppy Appeal C1 (1200m)

#2 – Markdel @ $8.00

Markdel ended last preparation with a win at Hawkesbury, and that form should hold up nicely at Cranbourne.

The Williams-trained runner used to be with the Freedman stable, but moving to Victoria doesn’t hurt his chances of winning more races.

Betting will be telling on race night but expect support.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (19:45) Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge BM66 (955m)

#8 – Pacific Glamour @ $3.50

Seeking back-to-back wins is Pacific Glamour, who was far too good for them in heavy conditions at Ballarat last start.

He won by 3.5 lengths, which was a good way to break maidens, and he’s good enough to rise through the grades now.

Getting the inside draw with a light weight is enough to take him close.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (20:15) Southern Timber Floors BM66 (2580m)

#12 – Jenni Intiba @ $10.00

We have been a touch disappointed with Jenni Intiba this season, but we’re giving her another chance at the odds.

The four-year-old mare by Written Tycoon comes off a fifth at Geelong, which wasn’t the worst effort, and she is better than that.

55.5kg on her back could be enough to turn the tables.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (20:45) AFW Garment & Fabric Suppliers BM66 (1400m)

#10 – Canara @ $8.50

Canara is only a one-time winner from 20 starts, but the Chris Waller-trained mare hasn’t been far off posting a second win.

The daughter of I Am Invincible ran fourth at Caulfield last start behind Tennessee Bound, and that form bodes well for this race.

She only needs some luck in running to go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (21:15) Ladbrokes SRM in Multis BM66 (1600m)

#4 – Enchanted Jenni @ $5.00

Boasting three consecutive wins is Enchanted Jenni, who won at Caulfield last start, and she could win again in this grade.

It was a tough win by a nose over Empire of Pain, and we expect that race to be a good form guide for this contest.

2kg comes off her back to help with the increased weight.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 8. (21:45) Ladbrokes Quick Multi BM66 (1300m)

#5 – Al Prancer @ $3.80

Al Prancer scored an upset win at Cranbourne last start, and it’s a good form guide for BM66 racing.

The four-year-old son of Sir Prancelot drops in grade for this race, and although he rises in weight, class should take him close.

Luke Nolen rides, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
