Cranbourne (H) Race 8

Hygain Summer Cash Splash Dash

Prize Money: $10,000

NORMS LADY (6) ran fifth last start at Melton over 1720m, beaten 17 metres. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. CLEAR LEFT NZ (4) found a spot near the tail of the field off the second line and couldn't come into contention when 11th last start over 1609m at Charlton. Finds a tougher race but a return to form is not out of the question. HITTHEROADJACK NZ (7) last appeared when fourth over 1720m at Melton three months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. DEUCE COUPE NZ (5) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

At the start before 5th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Geelong, at the bell was leading 1.84 beaten 4.5 m by Amphijet (1:53.90) in NR 60 to 69 on December 19 at $15.
