Cranbourne R4 WOODLANDS STUD PACE

Race comment

OVERVIEW: This fourth event harbours the smallest field all night but that hardly dulls it’s intrigue. Fundamentally, what we have here is one former Kiwi 3YO that actually went very well on his Aussie debut despite being beaten almost 20m in OVER THE ODDS (4) and an obviously gifted 4YO mare having her first start for new trainer Son Smith in SHES A HOVERCRAFT (5). Truthfully told, only intuition separates such a vastly disparate pair of pacers  but there so much to like about the recent trial from SHES A HOVERCRAFT (5) where she sat last and roared home her final 100m that we’re leaning that way despite the obvious obstacles confronting her as a natural go-back runner over 1609m where there’s no obvious pace. As mentioned, the only realistic threat is OVER THE ODDS (4) who won’t know himself here having tackled Bondi Lockdown and American Dealer at his maiden Aussie outing. Despite the awful gate PROSECCO BOY (7) is third pick but MY SUPERANNUATION (1) is capable of running a race if left alone in front with the big guns playing ducks and drakes behind her. EARLY SPEED: 1,4 RATINGS: 5/ 4/ 7/ 1/ 2/ 6/ 3
