Race comment
OVERVIEW: Logically, you’d think the fast class trotting event on tonight’s nine-race card would be one of the easier puzzles to solve. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. Between the spectre of an uncertain map, class horses drawing wide and others either resuming or having their second run back from breaks, this contest is arguably the trickiest all night. As previously mentioned, Cranbourne is a track that plays heavily to front-runners and peg-huggers in races of moderate pressure and tonight, that should favour whoever leads from HUMBLE LADD (4) and BRANDLO PRINCE (3). Both horses are laden with quality and very well placed in this event. By the barest of margins we’re favouring HUMBLE LADD (4) to lead but BRANDLO PRINCE (3) can prevail here even if he doesn’t. If you’re looking for the trotter that’s simply going best here then ROBBIE ROYALE (6) gets the nod and if you’re looking for the one with most scope for top-line action then KYVALLEY CHIEF (7) all but nominates himself; so you see the conundrum in isolating a winner. The race doesn’t end there either. WHOS THE MAN (1) is on an ascending trajectory and has the speed to use his polemarking draw so he’s also in the winning mix along with the hugely gifted but resuming POWDERKEG (2). If you’re playing Quads tonight, stay safe through this leg or it may deal you a fatal blow. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 1,3,5?,7? RATINGS: 4/ 3/ 6/ 7/ 1/ 2/ 5/ 9/ 8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Logically, you’d think the fast class trotting event on tonight’s nine-race card would be one of the easier puzzles to solve. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. Between the spectre of an uncertain map, class horses drawing wide and others either resuming or having their second run back from breaks, this contest is arguably the trickiest all night. As previously mentioned, Cranbourne is a track that plays heavily to front-runners and peg-huggers in races of moderate pressure and tonight, that should favour whoever leads from HUMBLE LADD (4) and BRANDLO PRINCE (3). Both horses are laden with quality and very well placed in this event. By the barest of margins we’re favouring HUMBLE LADD (4) to lead but BRANDLO PRINCE (3) can prevail here even if he doesn’t. If you’re looking for the trotter that’s simply going best here then ROBBIE ROYALE (6) gets the nod and if you’re looking for the one with most scope for top-line action then KYVALLEY CHIEF (7) all but nominates himself; so you see the conundrum in isolating a winner. The race doesn’t end there either. WHOS THE MAN (1) is on an ascending trajectory and has the speed to use his polemarking draw so he’s also in the winning mix along with the hugely gifted but resuming POWDERKEG (2). If you’re playing Quads tonight, stay safe through this leg or it may deal you a fatal blow. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 1,3,5?,7? RATINGS: 4/ 3/ 6/ 7/ 1/ 2/ 5/ 9/ 8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Logically, you’d think the fast class trotting event on tonight’s nine-race card would be one of the easier puzzles to solve. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. Between the spectre of an uncertain map, class horses drawing wide and others either resuming or having their second run back from breaks, this contest is arguably the trickiest all night. As previously mentioned, Cranbourne is a track that plays heavily to front-runners and peg-huggers in races of moderate pressure and tonight, that should favour whoever leads from HUMBLE LADD (4) and BRANDLO PRINCE (3). Both horses are laden with quality and very well placed in this event. By the barest of margins we’re favouring HUMBLE LADD (4) to lead but BRANDLO PRINCE (3) can prevail here even if he doesn’t. If you’re looking for the trotter that’s simply going best here then ROBBIE ROYALE (6) gets the nod and if you’re looking for the one with most scope for top-line action then KYVALLEY CHIEF (7) all but nominates himself; so you see the conundrum in isolating a winner. The race doesn’t end there either. WHOS THE MAN (1) is on an ascending trajectory and has the speed to use his polemarking draw so he’s also in the winning mix along with the hugely gifted but resuming POWDERKEG (2). If you’re playing Quads tonight, stay safe through this leg or it may deal you a fatal blow. EARLY SPEED: 4 (Potential Leader) + 1,3,5?,7? RATINGS: 4/ 3/ 6/ 7/ 1/ 2/ 5/ 9/ 8
