AU2 - Cranbourne - Race 1

ILLUMINATE ME (1) turned in a poor effort by her standards last time out when 40 metres away in eighth over 1m at Geelong. Form prior to that had been solid. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. FIREUPP (6) ran fifth last start at this track over 1 ¼m, beaten 11 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. WINSUM BELLA (5) has trialled three times since her last run so expect she is forward enough to stake a strong claim fresh from a break. LIKE A GAZELLE (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Ballarat over 1 ?m.
