Cranbourne Friday racing tips & quaddie | December 22, 2023
| What | Cranbourne Races |
| Where | Cranbourne Turf Club – 50 Grant St, Cranbourne VIC 3977 |
| When | Friday, December 22, 2023 |
| First Race | 6:15pm AEDT |
A competitive eight-race meeting at Cranbourne Racecourse is scheduled for Friday night, serving as the perfect lead-in to the Christmas weekend. Despite the track coming up a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, it is expected to firm up to a Good 4 before the first race jumps at 6:15pm local time. The rail is out 7m for the entire circuit.
Best Bet at Cranbourne: The Mansman
The Mansman finished 1.3 lengths off the smart Elouyou first-up in a Geelong maiden on December 7, and this 1400m affair is no harder than that. Drawn in gate six, Thomas Stockdale will look to find the one-one or settle outside the lead. From there, this son of Almanzor will prove too hard to hold out as he looks to break maiden ranks at start three.
Best Bet
Race 3 – 
#7 The Mansman (6)
3yo Colt | T: Phillip Stokes | J: Thomas Stockdale (58kg)
Next Best at Cranbourne: Speranzoso
Although he has only a single win to his name, Speranzoso has not finished worse than third in his last five starts. The son of Siyouni went toe-to-toe with Tommy Sandown on November 29 before running into Glentaneous last start on December 6. He is rock-hard fit and should appreciate dropping back to BM64 grade. Jordan Childs will look to roll forward on the five-year-old, and with a couple of cheap sections, it is hard to see how Speranzoso gets run down in the quaddie opener.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#5 Speranzoso (3)
5yo Gelding | T: Clayton Douglas | J: Jordan Childs (58.5kg)
