Cranbourne racing tips
—
Balance had a tough run on debut in Group 3 company, and she should be much better suited to maiden company.
The three-year-old daughter of Alabama Express ran four lengths behind Alpha Sofie, who is the favourite to win the Inglis Sprint on Saturday.
It’s an excellent form guide, so take the short odds.
Stake: 3.5 Units
Money has come for Time Allowed, which isn’t surprising after posting two placings from two runs in Australia.
The four-year-old son of Lope de Vega showed ability in Europe when posting a win over the mile and rising to 2025m looks ideal now.
He’s another favourite on the card, but he should go close.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Humza Bey has been scratched at his last two runs, but the patience could pay off for connections.
The former New Zealand, who was unbeaten across the Tasman, kicked things off in Australia with a third placing at Sale, which was a tidy effort.
He will only improve, and we have him improving enough to win.
Stake: 1 Unit
Layla would be our top pick, but we believe that she’s heading to the Inglis Sprint on Saturday, so we’re backing Fly by Light here.
The Clinton McDonald-trained gelding won on debut at Cranbourne by 3.5 lengths, and it was hard not to be impressed by that.
Ben Melham rides, which only adds to his appeal.
Stake: 2 Units
Punters get value odds with Markdel, who didn’t fire at Sandown last start, but that followed a fresh up win at Cranbourne.
The four-year-old son of Snitzel scored by a half-length and returning to this track could be enough for his best form to return.
The $8 odds are better than expected, so include him in picks.
Stake: 1 Unit
Winning form at Caulfield bodes well for racing at Cranbourne, and Gentle Steel got the better of a quality field last start.
She defeated Celerity in a quick time, and she now owns three wins from six starts, so she’s building a nice record.
Big bets have come her way throughout the week, so follow the money trail.
Stake: 2 Units
Soft Love always hits the ground running with two wins and a placing from three attempts.
The Matt Laurie-trained mare is a three-time winner from nine starts overall, and although she draws wide, her natural speed should take her close.
54kg on her back is another positive, so she could take out the feature race.
Stake: 1 Unit
Stage ‘N’ Screen got into an awkward position at Cranbourne last start, but we like the way she hit the line.
The Te Akau-raced mare just needs some luck to go her way, but after drawing barrier three, she should get all favours in the run.
Logan Bates takes 2kg off her back to help with the big weight.
Stake: 2 Units
