Race comment
OVERVIEW: Metropolitan racing heads to Cranbourne this evening and it’s no exaggeration to suggest anything at all could claim the programme’s opening event. As always in contests of this nature tempo will be everything and with most front line runners likely to covet forward positions that temp should be genuine throughout. As a result, we’re returning to a horse we’ve tipped on top three weeks straight in HULI NIEN (7). Let’s be very clear here, if he goes back as expected and they walk in front he’s cast, but if not for galloping late last week he’d likely approach this race on hat-trick and there’s no doubt under ideal circumstances he could settle near last and still swallow these up with superior speed. Another runner that would thrive with a hot front-end pace is MAJOR MANBAR (10) so he looms as the major danger, but should the script be flipped even slightly THE LAST CHANCE (5), FYNN FROST (6) and CEE CEE IN AMERICA (4) are all in this up to their ears. The most intriguing of all runners in a most intriguing contest is MACH LE MORE (3). A veteran of 70 starts he’s divided his time between NSW and QLD so far through his career but trialled superbly at Maryborough last Sunday and if the market suggests he’s the likely winner you’d be a fool to ignore it.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Metropolitan racing heads to Cranbourne this evening and it’s no exaggeration to suggest anything at all could claim the programme’s opening event. As always in contests of this nature tempo will be everything and with most front line runners likely to covet forward positions that temp should be genuine throughout. As a result, we’re returning to a horse we’ve tipped on top three weeks straight in HULI NIEN (7). Let’s be very clear here, if he goes back as expected and they walk in front he’s cast, but if not for galloping late last week he’d likely approach this race on hat-trick and there’s no doubt under ideal circumstances he could settle near last and still swallow these up with superior speed. Another runner that would thrive with a hot front-end pace is MAJOR MANBAR (10) so he looms as the major danger, but should the script be flipped even slightly THE LAST CHANCE (5), FYNN FROST (6) and CEE CEE IN AMERICA (4) are all in this up to their ears. The most intriguing of all runners in a most intriguing contest is MACH LE MORE (3). A veteran of 70 starts he’s divided his time between NSW and QLD so far through his career but trialled superbly at Maryborough last Sunday and if the market suggests he’s the likely winner you’d be a fool to ignore it.

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Metropolitan racing heads to Cranbourne this evening and it’s no exaggeration to suggest anything at all could claim the programme’s opening event. As always in contests of this nature tempo will be everything and with most front line runners likely to covet forward positions that temp should be genuine throughout. As a result, we’re returning to a horse we’ve tipped on top three weeks straight in HULI NIEN (7). Let’s be very clear here, if he goes back as expected and they walk in front he’s cast, but if not for galloping late last week he’d likely approach this race on hat-trick and there’s no doubt under ideal circumstances he could settle near last and still swallow these up with superior speed. Another runner that would thrive with a hot front-end pace is MAJOR MANBAR (10) so he looms as the major danger, but should the script be flipped even slightly THE LAST CHANCE (5), FYNN FROST (6) and CEE CEE IN AMERICA (4) are all in this up to their ears. The most intriguing of all runners in a most intriguing contest is MACH LE MORE (3). A veteran of 70 starts he’s divided his time between NSW and QLD so far through his career but trialled superbly at Maryborough last Sunday and if the market suggests he’s the likely winner you’d be a fool to ignore it.
