Cranbourne Race 4

Decron Pace

Stake: $7,200

MASTER LOUEY (4) returned from a break in very good order last start when successful over 1690m at Kilmore on April 2, getting home by 2 metres. His last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. KORENGAL VALLEY (3) was responsible for a far better performance last start, finishing fourth over 2150m at Bendigo. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field so he can salute this time around. COLORADO GIRL (1) ended last prep with a fourth at Bendigo over 1650m ten weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. JUSTLIKEDAVE (5) could only manage ninth when resuming over 2180m at Kilmore last start. Can do better.
