Cranbourne - Race 1 - Betavet Maiden Plate - 1000m

Selections:
4. Foxenburg - $1.30
2. Central Bank - $2.70
3. Chop Chop Go - $13.00

BEST BET - Foxenburg - $1.30
Debutant Foxenburg is here to win at Cranbourne and if trail runs are anything to go by, this horse could romp home here. Conditions look perfect and Foxenburg could land a debut triumph in this one.

THE DANGER - Central Bank - $2.70
Kiwi flyer Central Bank improved hugely to pick up a strong second place at Bendigo last time out and it should build upon that here, making it a real danger in the market.

VALUE BET - Chop Chop Go - $13.00
Outside of the top two in the betting, it looks to be a real lottery and Chop Chop Go could provide decent value in the placing market. It comes from serious stock and should run well on paper, making it an outside shout for us here.

Cranbourne - Race 3 - Minuteman Press Maiden Plate - 1600m

Selections:
10. Steadfast - $1.60
8. Homeward - $3.00
7. Alpine Cowgirl - $8.50

BEST BET - Steadfast - $1.60
Back to back placings ahead of this one suggest that Steadfast is ready to break its maiden and it is hard to see past it in the betting markets. It will need to run well but has the stamina and the pace to be the one to beat.

THE DANGER - Homeward - $3.00
While Homeward is yet to make a huge case in either of its two career outings thus far, it is a horse from an in-form yard and from good stock, making it one to watch.

VALUE BET - Alpine Cowgirl - $8.50
Similarly, Alpine Cowgirl hasn't been competing at this level but has two solid placings on its record and in a maiden plate like this, it has the credentials to compete at a good price.

Cranbourne - Race 8 - No Fuss Handicap - 2080m

Selections:
9. Batoka Chief - $3.50
12. Miyazawa - $4.50
5. Flanagan - $8.00

BEST BET - Batoka Chief - $3.50
The Price yard is bang in form at the moment and Batoka Chief is a horse that could provide them yet another triumph. It is the one to beat on paper and should be the standard setter.

THE DANGER - Miyazawa - $4.50
Kiwi flyer Miyazawa has been going well in recent races of late and it looks to be the value pick here. It travels impressively and should have no issues over this 2000m+ trip here at Cranbourne.

VALUE BET - Flanagan - $8.00
Following an impressive in at Ballarat last time out, Flanagan is looking to back it up here at Cranbourne. The trip looks ideal, as does the going and it could extend to 2000m with plenty of running in reserve.
