GOODFORM – Ryan's game plan for Sunday night at Cranbourne

R1 – 5:49pm – NZB Standardbred Pace - 1609m

9 – Major Bert

4 – Villarock

1 – Sir Vincent

8 – Tupelo Beach

Strategy:

Major Bert maps OK despite the back row and gets in well with Sean O’Sullivan’s concession claim. His last run was much improved, and this is a significant drop in class. Expecting him to measure up strongly here.

BACK: 9 Major Bert – 2 Units (win)

 

R2 – 6:27pm – Woodlands Stud Trot – 2080m 

5 – Mont Sally

8 – Karbine

2 – No Remorse

5 – Maori Tattoo

Strategy:

Mont Sally is an honest trotter with good early speed to take a forward spot. She finds a weaker race than what she’s been contesting and with James Herbertson in the cart, confidence is boosted.

BACK: 5 Mont Sally – 4 Units (win)

 

R3 – 7:03pm – Kruezy Tips Pace – 2080m 

1 – Speedy Healey

5 – Lady Deloris

6 – My Way

3 – Davolas Legacy

Strategy:

Speedy Healey has been racing well when saved for one run. The inside draw looks good on paper, but he may be crossed early and shuffled back. In a small field that shouldn’t be a major hurdle, and with clear air late he’ll be charging home.

BACK: 1 Speedy Healey – 2 Units (win)

 

R4 – 7:30pm – Decron Horse Care Pace – 1609m 

1 – Oceanique

5 – Tex Goes Bang

6 – Yella

3 – Sasscilian

Strategy:

Oceanique loves his home track and comes up with a similar draw and scenario to when he led throughout here in May. He’s been going well enough to repeat the dose, and at worst looks to map leaders-back for a soft run over the sprint trip.

BACK: 1 Oceanique – 2 Units (win)

 

R5 – 8:00pm – Hygain Pace – 1609m 

4 – Final Promise

6 – Blazin By

3 – Captain Boak

5 – Normy

 

R6 – 8:30pm – Aldebaran Park Maiden Trot – 2080m 

5 – Love Me Again

2 – Moreep

4 – Whatsthegoss

6 – Aldebaran Sariah
