Cranbourne Race 5

Blue Hills Rise Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

COMMUNITY ART (3) finished second last start over 2240m at Swan Hill, beaten a nose, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2240m at Swan Hill. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. BIGGERBETTERBEST (2) scored last time out by a neck at Maryborough over 1690m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. EDWARDE GRANGE (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Melton over 1720m. BETTORPATCHMEUP (1) can make the most of the perfect inside draw and is the best of the rest after finishing sixth over 2080m at this track last time out.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 2080m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 20 m by Busload Of Faith (2:35.20) in NR 55 to 65 on January 12 at $41.
