Vicbred Voucher Mares Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

ELLEEGANT LANE (5) continued her consistent form when beaten only 3m into fourth at her latest appearance at Cranbourne. Came from this barrier to miss narrowly the last time she raced here. Big chance. CINQUANTA (2) made it back-to-back placings when she led and battled on well for a 1.9m third at Ballarat last time. Has the speed to take advantage of a low draw so could find the winners' enclosure. SPUN SILVER (7) draws wide but is going well with back-to-back placings since winning here. TASTE IT (3) is a player off a last-start win by 6 metres at Shepparton when fresh from a spell.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 13 m by Foregone Conclusion (2:44.10) on September 3 at $81. At her previous start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 2240m at this track was 8th-13.54 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Allheartnoheight (2:45.50) on August 21 at $11. Gets the inside draw so is capable of going a lot better.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Lenard Ess at this track over 2240m on August 21 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Fireside at Ballarat over 1710m on August 26 at $14. Draws well and looks close to a win.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 2180m at Kilmore, beaten 23 m by Archaa (2:42.60) on September 3 at $14. Two runs back 9th (Fr1) over 1650m at Yarra Valley was 5th-9 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Archaa (2:02.10) on November 30 2023 at $9. Fitter so watch for a spike in form.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Lenard Ess at this track over 2240m on August 21 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Alta Bayamo at Shepparton over 1690m on September 1 at $4.60. Going along well. Another strong performance expected.
