Cranbourne Race 5

Blue Hills Rise Trot

Prize Money: $7,000

LADY IN THE SKY (5) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Performed well once again when third at her latest appearance over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 13 metres. Primary contender based on recent form. ROCKY VALLEY (2) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Melton over 1720m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SOVEREIGN TIGER (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Each way value. Something for the Multiples: BLANCO CANYON (1) LADY IN THE SKY NZ (5)
