Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier

Stake: $3,188

CRUSOE RICO (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from seven tries. Missed the frame latest (24.81) when seventh over 425m at this track in a Free For All. Makes strong appeal on best. SPANISH BULLET (1) scored a most impressive win two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 10 length 5th at Warrnambool (22.85). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Leading chance. CRUSOE MAGIC (2) stalked the lead from a middle box and kept coming to win (22.71) at Shepparton in T3 Grade 7 over 390m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Leading player again. BRANDENBURG (5) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.

Was out of placings last time (22.85) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks suited and should go close.

Won his last two including a strong win last start racing on the pace over 390m at Shepparton by 2.5 lengths in a T3 Grade 7. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when seventh (24.71) at this track. Has a low draw but looks safely held.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.39 over 390m at Ballarat. No wins from this draw but has placed four times. In the mix.

Ended last campaign with a sixth (26.09) in a GR 5 at Warrnambool and returns after a three months break. Has a win and a minor from two fresh up runs. Looks one of the hopes in the race.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.84) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a place chance at best.

Looks close to another win after her success on March 10 at Sandown over 515m. Last start was third over 435m in 25.07, behind Dewy News. Has claims if at her best.
