Cranbourne Race 5

Cranbourne Fencing Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

LONGTAN VIPER (4) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1690m at Shepparton. Good enough to put himself back in the winners' stall. GIDGETT KAY (6) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 40 metres into ninth at Melton over 1720m. Meets a comparable field and she can finish a lot closer this time. YANKEE MOJOH (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at Mt Gambier over 2190m. Must be included. JUSTLIKEDAVE (3) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1720m at Melton.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Starzinhereyes at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 48 to 52 on March 19 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Spook Crocker at Mt Gambier over 2190m in a NR 50 to 59 on April 21 at $13. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1720m at Melton was 2nd-4.84 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Kyoretsu (2:04.30) in NR 46 to 49 on May 1 at $12. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 6th-12.4 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Master Louey (1:58.90) in 0-3 WINs on April 19 at $6.50. Strips fitter and from an inside draw gets his chance to shine.

Fair performance when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Roam at Shepparton over 2190m in a NR 52 to 55 on May 3 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sharp Interest at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR 47 to 53 on May 5 at $4. Major player.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 9th (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 40 m by One Golden Deal (2:02.60) in 0-1 WIN M on April 24 at $34. The run before was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 30 m by Mount Barker Boy (1:56.20) in NR up to 55 on April 17 at $26. Capable of a better showing.
