Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 26, 2022 Journalists Share Posted September 26, 2022 What Cranbourne Races Where Cranbourne Turf Club – 50 Grant St, Cranbourne VIC 3977 When Wednesday, September 28, 2022 First Race 1pm AEST Visit Ladbrokes Victoria’s metropolitan Wednesday meeting will return to Cranbourne Turf Club for what promises to be a competitive eight-race card. The track is currently rated a Soft 6, and with more rain on the forecast for Melbourne and the outer suburbs, the track may be closer to a Heavy by raceday. The rail will be pushed out to the 9m position for the entire circuit, which should play favourable to leaders. Cranbourne Best Bet: Obfuscation The Simon Zahra-trained Obfuscation has been impressive at all three of his runs in his career, winning one race and finishing third in the other two starts. This four-year-old gelding has shown his likeness for softer tracks, getting through them nicely for two thirds. After changing trainers from the Price & Kent team over to Zahra, this son of Holler returned from a 12-month spell with a very nice third at Sale over 1012m where he flew home from the back to go down by two lengths. Jye McNeil will take his first sit on this gelding, and with his experience we should see this guy settle a lot closer than normal and finish over the top of them late. Best Bet Race 7 – #3 Obfuscation (8) 4yo Gelding | T: Jye McNeil | J: Simon Zahra (59kg) $2.30 with Unibet Next Best at Cranbourne: Just A Theory The Mitchell Freedman-trained Just A Theory will be third-up today after running second at both of his starts this preparation at Echuca and Moe over 1200m, which is the exact same distance as today’s race. This four-year-old mare should have won at her first-up run but had to travel four wide the trip with no cover and was beaten by half-a-length by Nasdana, who had this girl’s back everywhere she went. If Jordan Childs can hold the rail and get the box-seat run, Just A Theory will be hot on their heels as they round the turn and will look the winner at some stage in the straight. Next Best Race 3 – #4 Just A Theory (1) 4yo Mare | T: Mitchell Freedman | J: Jordan Childs (57.5kg) $4.60 with Neds Next Best Again at Cranbourne: Marimenko In the final race of the day, Fred Kersley will take the ride on Marimenko with 61.5kg over 1200m. This Team Hawkes-trained six-year-old gelding has been lightly raced, only having 10 starts in his career for two wins and four placings. After finishing 13th of 15 in his last start before a spell in a Benchmark 78 at Sandown back on May 11, he will find this Benchmark 64 much easier even with the top weight. Kersley has ridden this guy at six of his 10 starts, so he will know where to have this gelding to make sure he is comfortable and ready to let down at the top of the straight. Next Best Again Race 8 – #1 Marimenko (8) 6yo Gelding | T: John, Wayne & Michael Hawkes | J: Fred Kersley (61.5kg) $4.60 with Bet365 Wednesday quaddie tips for Cranbourne Cranbourne quadrella selections Wednesday, September 28, 2022 5-6-7 3-4-9-12 3-7 1-6-10-11 Investment: $96 for 100% More horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
