Cranbourne Race 5

Hertz Mitcham Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $45,000

BIG KAPOW (2) made an encouraging debut at Pakenham, when beaten less than half a length, then knocked up late when racing in a handy position in a much tougher race than this at Caulfield. Being beaten three lengths there is not a bad formline for this. TOROKAWA (11) is one of a few first-starters who has been trialling up nicely, particularly at the latest when she showed good early speed and was strong to the line when winning. ZOUSOUTH (7) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark in two of three runs this time in and draws to again play a prominent role. GIDDY GIRL (9) is from a top stable who was turned out after a poor run following a nice debut and has been trialling well in preparation for the return. MAYA'S ACE (12) has been given time after a two-run debut prep and recent jumpouts, including a win at Flemington two back, suggest she's come on.

He is resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at Mornington Mdn-Sw October 23 over 1200m, soft track; 11 len behind Rosa Aotearoa with 57kg at $101. On debut second last of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw September 23 over 1217m, soft track; 9 len behind Blue Bandit with 57kg at $26. Failed to flatter at first two starts but has been trialling like he's improved between campaigns.

At the latest run 4th of 12 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1106m, 2.25 len behind Sun Devil with 59kg at $4.80. The start before that faded in the straight 6th of 8 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 1018m, 4 len behind Discreet Point carrying 59kg at $4.60. Been around the mark in two of three runs this time in and draws to play a role again.

Filly by Royal Meeting on debut. Ran 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out on March 23. Third placings at two jumpouts this time, but wide draw makes it tough.
