Cranbourne Race 3

Mark Gurry & Associates Pace

Stake: $4,320

PICKLE IT (6) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 1.2 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. LOTAKEVI (5) gave a good account at his latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten just 2.75 metres into fourth. Big chance if anywhere near his best. RONZEL SONNY (7) cops a tough draw but didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1690m at Shepparton last time out. SPECULATOR (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start modest effort over 1720m at Melton on July 25. This is easier, so stick with him.

Last start 3rd (Sr4) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 2.5 m by Very Tempting (2:09.40) in NR up to 35 on July 25 at $81. Two runs back 8th (Sr2) over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 25 m by Freak Out (2:06.40) in NR up to 36 on July 17 at $34. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

Last start was well back in the run when 11th (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton beaten 12 m by Very Tempting (2:09.40) in NR up to 35 on July 25 at $18. At his previous start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1690m after being wide early at Kilmore beaten 25 m by Freak Out (2:06.40) in NR up to 36 on July 17 at $51. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Certainly up to this and he is a major player.

Last start 4th (Sr3) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 11 m by Freak Out (2:06.40) in NR up to 36 on July 17 at $51.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Star Ruler at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 36 on July 11 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Dot Ball at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 46 on July 18 at $2.30. Can retain the good form.
