Best Bet at Cranbourne: In Her Eyes

Stepping back from the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m), it is hard to go past In Her Eyes in the Cranbourne opener. The two-year-old filly was beaten five-lengths in the Group 1, but even her effort two back in the Group 2 Blue Diamond Prelude (1100m) will be more than good enough to be winning here. Jamie Mott will have the Star Witness filly towards the rear of the small six-horse field, but with a swift turn of foot, In Her Eyes should prove too good for maiden grade.

Next Best at Cranbourne: Nokbah

Nokbah will not get a better chance to bring up a third career win when she lines up in the Cranbourne finale. The five-year-old mare simply did not want to go past Epic Centre in a tight tussle down the Moonee Valley straight on March 1 when beaten by the barest of margins. The five-year-old mare has two wins and two seconds to her name over 1000m, including a win at this track and trip three runs back on September 7. Rose Hammond will use her 3kg claim to her advantage and have the I Am Invincible progeny bounding along up on speed. With a high-cruising speed, Nokhbah will prove too slick for her rivals in BM64 grade.
