AU - Cranbourne - Race 1

THINKYAHOT (3) should take beating. He's been nothing if not consistent, runner-up in 4/6 starts to date, going down a neck when heavily supported at Ballarat Synthetic last time out. If anything, switching back to turf should suit better and he won't get many better chances than this from an ideal gate. TAGAMATE (2) was okay at Geelong last time on very heavy ground. His form prior was rock solid for this including a third to the handy Miss Lola. That form should stand up. SHAMANSARA (10) is a filly by Shamus Award on debut for the Hayes yard. She got home well in a recent jumpout and has been backed early which is worth noting for these connections. STELLETTA (11) was well beaten fresh at short odds on synthetic but could turn things around quickly on turf. PRIDE OF MANDY (9) is racing well and gets every hope from the inside.
