Cranbourne Race 3

Trusteel Fabrications Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

BLUE AKOYA (6) looks hard to beat on the fresh-up effort. Got back in the small field over 1000m and charged home late to finish second in a narrow finish. That was first run in five months and will strip much fitter. Hard to hold out again. SOMETHINGINTHEAIR (2) is back off a long break. Made debut here in May and was well fancied. Gave a sight in front but was swamped late and spelled again. Rates well here on that run and can give a sight fresh. DAZZLING SECRET (3) returned from a break with an encouraging third when finding the line strongly. Wide gate here but fitter and will be running on. BENRIACH (1) is fitter again and has placed second-up. Will be doing best work late.
