Cranbourne - Race 1 - Hygain Tracktorque Handicap - 1000m

Selections:
2. Biancelli - $2.00
4. Bonnie Amore - $3.60
1. Skipjack - $4.50

BEST BET - Biancelli - $2.00
With two wins from its opening two races at this level, all eyes are on Biancelli as it looks to make it three on the spin. Conditions should suit perfectly in this one and while the competition is stiffer, Biancelli looks well placed to lead the market.

THE DANGER - Bonnie Amore - $3.60
It has been nearly a year since Bonnie Amore was last seen at this level and it returns to action here, needing to find its feet quickly. Pace has never been an issue for this horse though and it won't be too far away.

VALUE BET - Skipjack - $4.50
In a congested field, it is not easy to pick out challengers but Skipjack is certainly one who could be in the mix here. It has won or placed in each of its last 3 starts and has snuck under the radar a touch in this one.

Cranbourne - Race 4 - Good Friday Dual Codes Handicap - 1600m

Selections:
6. Littlebirdie - $2.20
1. Detroit City - $2.40
4. Futatsu - $4.50

BEST BET - Littlebirdie - $2.20
Having endured a frustrating start to the season, it looks as if Littlebirdie is finally back to its best. It hit the post really hard last week at Sale, running on well to finish and it should be chomping to get going here.

THE DANGER - Detroit City - $2.40
Trending in the opposite direction is Detroit City, who has struggled for form in recent races and needs to respond in this one. It should be well at home in this field and in these conditions, so it has the capacity to challenge.

VALUE BET - Futatsu - $4.50
Ciraon Maher puts his hat into the ring here with Futatsu, a horse that is a real threat in every race it competes in and recent form suggests that it is operating somewhere near its best - making it one to watch here.

Cranbourne - Race 6 - Ryan Morrison Handicap - 1300m

Selections:
2. Il Cubo - $3.00
10. Hot Pursuit - $3.50
1. British Poet - $8.00

BEST BET - Il Cubo - $3.00
Having put in some decent performances in recent weeks, Il Cubo will be eager to pick up a much-needed win here at Cranbourne. This is a horse with bags of potential but its mercurial nature makes it tough to predict.

THE DANGER - Hot Pursuit - $3.50
Turning placings into wins will be the next step for Hot Pursuit, who should live up to its name in this one from the off. It has come close plenty of times recently and connections will be hoping that can translate into a win here.

VALUE BET - British Poet - $8.00
Two wins from its last three outings makes British Poet a serious contender for this one and with one of those coming here at Cranbourne, it is the form offering - at a very good price too.
