Cranbourne Race 5

Blue Hills Rise Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

VIVID DREAM NZ (2) has had two runs this campaign without filling a placing. Added to the sequence last time over 1690m at Kilmore, finishing 8 metres away from the winner in fourth. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. AMERICAN MICHI (4) scored by 3 metres at Melton over 2240m last start at his first career run. Big chance in a similar race. YANKEE RAIN (6) disappointed last time when ninth over 1710m at Ballarat. Can bounce back. BINALONG MATE (8) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2180m at Kilmore last time out.

Didn't do much at the last run, surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at Charlton beaten 10 m by Breathe Easy (1:55.50) in NR 41 to 45 on February 16 at $11. Before that 5th (Fr4) over 1145m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was leading 1.8 beaten 8 m by Bona Khan (1:19.90) in NR 40 to 46 on February 8 at $16. Facing a tough assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Sr4) over 1710m after racing wide at Ballarat, at the bell was 10th-15.29 beaten 15 m by My Ultimate Luigi (2:04.10) in 0-1 WIN on February 5 at $13. The run previous 5th (Sr1) over 2100m at Geelong beaten 12 m by Wichita Kansas (2:36.50) in NR 38 to 43 on January 16 at $4. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 2200m at Ballarat beaten 24 m by Where Is Woody (2:41.50) in NR 50 to 55 on February 5 at $3.50. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Sr2) at Ballarat (2:41.30) beating Roman Charlie in MAIDEN on January 8 at $3.40. Not keen this time.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Highlandhartbreaka at Melton over 2240m in a NR 45 to 50 on January 30 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Always A Showgirl at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 50 on February 12 at $2.90. Sure to be in the mix.
