Cranbourne racing tips

Race 1. (17:45) Ladbrokes Mega Multi Maiden (1200m)

#4 – Radical Dude @ $2.45

Radical Dude looks to make a winning debut following a tidy jumpout win at Cranbourne.

The three-year-old son of Farnan is bred to show speed early in his career, and barrier four adds to his appeal.

The $2.45 odds could shorten on race day, so take the opening odds.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (18:15) Springvale RSL Maiden (1200m)

#7 – Farakta @ $3.90

Money has come for Farakta to win on debut for Robbie Griffiths, and it could pay to follow betting moves.

The three-year-old filly by Farnan won a trial at Benalla by a length, and that should top her off nicely for this race.

She opened at $4.60, so there has been a steady flow of money for her.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (18:45) Hertz Maiden (2520m)

#4 – Luigi the Brave @ $2.00

Luigi the Brave is threatening to win after posting four placings from five starts this preparation, and this race isn’t any harder than recent assignments.

The four-year-old son of Pariah has yet to race at Cranbourne, but it’s a track that could see him land an overdue victory.

$2 is getting into the too short range, but he’s worth including in multis.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (19:15) Core Protective Group Maiden (1400m)

#2 – Let It Beel @ $2.00

Let It Beel is a good bet at the even money odds, as he looks to cap off a series of placings with a win.

The three-year-old son of Savabeel is a five-time placegetter from seven starts, and it’s only a matter of time before he wins.

Coming off a third placing at Sandown is good form for racing at Cranbourne.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 5. (19:45) Happy 100th Birthday Don Smith BM62 (1600m)

#7 – Ryanman @ $5.00

Ryanman has yet to win this preparation, but he hasn’t been too far away from the prize with three placings.

He comes off consecutive placings at Kyneton, and he was only a short margin behind the winner last time out, so it’s a good form guide.

Include him in picks at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (20:15) Browns Sawdust & Shavings BM62 (1200m)

#1 – Jackie’s Maid @ $2.80

Seeking back-to-back wins Jackie’s Maid, who scored by 2.3 lengths at Kyneton last time out.

The five-year-old mare by Puissance de Lune won both starts at the distance, and carrying 60kg shouldn’t worry her over this distance.

Her second-up form isn’t as good, but the penny might have dropped now.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (20:45) Happy Anniversary Maria & George Lewandowski BM62 (1200m)

#3 – Freak of Nature @ $6.50

Punters get each-way odds for Freak of Nature, who is much better than his form suggests, so we’re giving him one more chance.

The five-year-old son of Snitzel won six races early in his career, and he looked like a group horse in the making, but his confidence levels are down.

If he can’t win here with a 3kg claimer riding, we won’t back him again.

Stake: 1 Unit
