| When | Friday, April 5, 2024 |

As the night racing draws closer to an end in Victoria, racing heads to Cranbourne Turf Club this Friday evening where a competitive eight-race meeting is set down for decision. Despite a deluge of rain at the start of the week, clear skies are forecast in the lead in to the meeting, so the Soft 7 track rating could shape towards a Soft 5 come Friday night. The rail comes out 6m the entire circuit, with action commencing at 5:15pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Cranbourne: Clavadatsch
Clavadatsch has always been blessed with plenty of ability, but this looks to be her level. The three-year-old filly looks to be a genuine sprinter, so the final 50m of the 1300m trip might be a touch nervy for her supporters, however she is quite a speedy type and could just run her rivals ragged. Ethan Brown will have her leading within the first 100m of the race, from there, it is hard to see Clavadatsh being run down in the penultimate race of the night.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#4 Clavadatsch (10)
3yo Filly | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Ethan Brown (60.5kg)
Next Best at Cranbourne: Spellmaster
The Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Spellmaster was far from disgraced first-up at Pakenham when race fitness failed him when fresh from a 29-week spell. The three-year-old gelding led the field up, only to be overrun inside the final 50m to finish third, beaten less than a length. He comes up against a field that is no harder than what he faced, and with the run under his belt, dropping back to the 1300m from the 1400m looks ideal. John Allen will look to dictate terms throughout, and if the Savabeel progeny can kick clear on the turn, he should prove too hard to gun down.
Next Best
Race 1 – 
#6 Spellmaster (9)
3yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: John Allen (59kg)
Best Value at Cranbourne: Telescope
Amy & Ash Yargi’s Telescope has finished second at both of her starts this time in, but on Friday night she can go one better over 1200m. The three-year-old filly was nosed out by Scorsese at Colac on March 3 before being run down inside the final 50m at Bairnsdale. The Zoustar filly will likely sit behind the leaders, with two of the key market fancies, Drift Net and Favanna, expected to go at each other from the get go. Telescope will have the sit on some potentially vulnerable leaders, and if she can sprint sharply, the filly can salute at a nice price with leading horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#12 Telescope (11)
3yo Filly | T: Amy & Ash Yargi | J: Jake Noonan (57kg)
