Cranbourne racing tips

—

Clinton McDonald lines up Phineas, who finished third at Sale two back, and something close to that effort should be good enough.

The four-year-old gelding by Shamus Award didn’t have all favours when sixth at Sandown, so he gets another chance.

Getting the inside draw should be enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Tower Bridge was no match for the winner last time out when running second, but that followed an impressive win at Geelong.

The three-year-old colt by I Am Invincible has plenty of improvement to come, and the 59kg shouldn’t be enough to stop him.

Include him in horse racing multis.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Money has come for Topmost to cap off a consistent start to his career with a win, and the odds could keep shortening.

The four-year-old son of Overshare owns eight placings from nine starts, including a third at Cranbourne last time out.

He’s another good multi bet inclusion at the current odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Gunning for three consecutive wins is In Her Stride, who scored at Terang and Sale, and that form should be good enough for this race.

The seven-year-old mare by Stratum Star is a seven-time winner overall, and good track conditions are right up her alley.

Punters get each-way odds, which are worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win is Blankfield, who has shown enough speed to handle this field.

The three-year-old son of Blue Point has experience at Cranbourne with two placings, which is good enough form to handle this field.

He only needs a touch of luck from a tricky barrier.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Mahrajan could make an impact on debut after showing speed at the trials and jumpouts.

The three-year-old filly by Pride of Dubai gets the inside draw for her debut, which could be enough to take her close.

Money is likely to come for her on race day, so take the $4 odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Robbie Griffiths lines up Montjuic Magic, who won at Stony Creek two back before placing at Cranbourne last time out.

The four-year-old mare by Starspangledbanner owns a win and five placings from eight starts, so she doesn’t often run a bad race.

She likes Cranbourne, and it won’t take her long to win here.

Stake: 1.5 Units

There is plenty of improvement to come for Lane Changer, who ran well enough for fifth fresh up at Yarra.

The four-year-old mare by Exceedance showed a good turn-of-foot to make ground from the back, and it was a day when most winners sat on the speed.

She could defy the odds and win.

Stake: 1 Unit
