Cranbourne racing tips
—
Madiyya showed plenty of speed during her first preparation, including three consecutive wins at Sale and Caulfield.
The four-year-old daughter of Super Seth is living up to her breeding, and we expect a big effort in a fresh state at Cranbourne.
Getting 2kg off her back helps, so include her in picks to start the day.
Stake: 2 Units
St Edward was a touch disappointing at The Valley last start, but we’re prepared to give him another chance.
He looked much better when winning at his prior start, and anything close to that form is enough to be competitive in this race.
Rising in distance should be right up his alley.
Stake: 1 Unit
We backed Hot Too Go when running fourth last week at Caulfield, and it was a tidy staying effort.
The four-year-old gelding can be a touch dour at times, but he did well to grip on for fourth considering he went out quite hard in front.
A more conversative ride could see his winning form return.
Stake: 1 Unit
Looking to make a winning return to the track is Extreme Virtue, who owns a win and a placing from three first-up starts.
The Hayes-trained mare is a five-time winner from 11 starts, which is an excellent record, and kicking off over 1400m is ideal, as she’s a three-time winner at the distance.
Craig Williams rides from barrier two, so the positives keep coming.
Stake: 2 Units
Big Sexy was well-backed in his last two starts at Bendigo and Flemington, but we give him a pass mark in those defeats.
He was good when running second at Bendigo before running fourth at Flemington on Oaks Day behind Guerite.
It’s a strong form guide for this race, so he can’t be left out of picks.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Ciaron Maher lines up Shockletz, who was an impressive winner at Sandown fresh up before running fifth at Flemington behind Al Duca.
She was the $2.30 favourite on that occasion, so her performance was a touch disappointing, but we’re giving her another chance.
This is an even field, and she has every chance of getting back to winning form.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Sweethearted is a runner we’re happy to keep following until he wins another race.
The Phillip Stokes-trained four-year-old has plenty of talent, and running against this level of opposition should help after running behind Grand Larceny and Don’t Hope Do.
Look for him to settle midfield and come with a big late run.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Sabaj defied a betting drift to win convincingly at Flemington in terrible conditions last start, and he’s a smart type in the making.
It was his fourth win from seven starts, and punters shouldn’t be concerned by the wide draw as he likes to settle back and come with a searching run.
We see him winning a good stakes race soon.
Stake: 3 Units
It was good to see Need Some Luck back to his best when winning at Flemington, and if he gets a good run from the draw, he should go close.
The Peter Snowden-trained gelding improved his record to six wins and seven placings from 15 starts, so his record is tough to overlook.
We fancy his chances of going back-to-back against this company.
Stake: 2 Units
Biancelli went unbeaten in her first preparation, including a win at Caulfield in May.
We typically take late autumn form with a grain of salt, but the four-year-old mare could have a bright future when going through the grades.
Look for a betting push on race day.
Stake: 1 Unit
