Cranbourne Tips March 20

Best Bet:

Race 6 No. 2 Queen Amanjena

The mare has performed well at this Benchmark 62 level in the past, including ending her last preparation with a half-length win over 1400m at Ballarat in October.

The four-year-old stepped up to metro level for a Benchmark 70 event at Caulfield Heath on her return earlier this month.

She faced just five rivals that day and produced a creditable effort, finishing three-and-a-half lengths third over this distance on a Good 4 surface.

The daughter of Per Incanto is expected to have improved for that run, while the drop in grade is a clear positive.

Emily Pozman’s 2kg claim also helps, and with conditions to suit, she is taken to win second-up.

Next Best:

Race 2 No. 9 Le Notre

The three-year-old raced on speed before fading late when debuting over this distance at the Gold Coast in July last year.

She jumped from a wide barrier on that occasion and, after a break, resumed at Stony Creek earlier this month.

A change of tactics and a drop in distance saw the filly settle midfield in an 1100m event on a Soft 6 surface.

The daughter of Under The Louvre showed signs of inexperience and encountered some trouble in running, but still worked home well late.

Stepping back up in distance, she looks capable of breaking through for her maiden win.

Market Mover:

Race 5 No. 3 Bold Strike

Ciaron Maher’s runner has been well supported to bounce back from a disappointing sixth at Caulfield Heath last time.

The four-year-old was beaten four-and-a-half lengths over 1500m on that occasion and now steps up in distance.

Previous form suggests he performs well over this trip, particularly on rain-affected ground.

Bold Strike opened at $3 with Unibet Australia and has since firmed into $2.70.

Stats Say:

Trainer Julius Sandhu has an excellent record at his home track this season, striking at 33% (11 winners from 33 runners).

He is set to saddle three runners on the card, with Luigi The Brave expected to start favourite in Race 3 after three consecutive top-three finishes.

Jamie Mott partners that runner and is also booked to ride Elegant Contessa, who resumes in Race 4.

The stable’s final runner comes in the last, where apprentice Bailey Kinninmont rides Bold Response, who finished fifth at Caulfield Heath last start.
