Races MR Cranbourne

Gelding by Capitalist facing the starter for the first time. Won a jump-out at Mornington on October 7. Taken a while to get to the races but last two jumpouts hint at a strong debut showing.

Patrick Payne trained four-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Recent trial winner at Tatura. Nice trial win coming into this and watching market might be the smartest play.

Comes here off a 45-day let-up. Last start failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Wodonga on September 1 over 1300m, slow going 10 len behind Bold Jester carrying 59.5kg at $7. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Wodonga on August 17 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 1.3 len behind Zouzenna carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. In new hands and didn't do a lot in a recent trial.

Third-up today. First-up 6th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on September 11 over 1100m, 5 len behind Balance carrying 59.5kg at $18. Second-up 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on October 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Semantics carrying 59.5kg at $26. Rates highly. Looks ready to win.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Tatura on September 7 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Adieu Grasse carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. The run before that led but faded 3rd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 31 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Share The Music carrying 59.5kg at $4.20. Capable of sharp improvement.

Resumes after a break of eight months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fifth of 12 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw February 19 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Light Moves with 59.5kg at $31. Previously first up; second in a small field at Moe Mdn-Sw September 4 2025 over 1008m, on rain affected going; 1.0 len behind Lake Gillear carrying 59.5kg at $18. Anticipating him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Last start got back early 7th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on October 5 over 1200m, 6 len behind Bee Admired with 59.5kg at $51. The start before that got back early 5th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Mornington on September 17 over 1000m, 4 len behind Parcae carrying 59.5kg at $51. Ready to peak after four runs back and is among the leading chances.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Mornington Mdn-Sw April 28 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Deepseek carrying 55.5kg at $31. On debut sixth of 12 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw March 12 over 1000m, 6 len behind Bel Lupa carrying 56kg at $31. Happy to see what she can do first-up.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 9 at Moe Mdn-Sw May 12 over 1214m, soft track; 4 len behind Unapproachable carrying 55.5kg at $11. On debut second last of 12 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw March 12 over 1000m, 7 len behind Listening Is Doing with 54.5kg at $71. Couple of nice second placings last prep, but they were over 1200m so maybe next time.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Echuca 3yo Mdn-Sw March 8 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Baganov carrying 56kg at $20. First up last campaign fourth of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw February 13 over 1000m, 11 len behind Headbanger with 57kg at $9. Good recent jumpout for the new stable, so watch market.

First-up. Finished off last campaign 12th of 14 at this track Mdn-Sw July 16 over 1300m, in the wet; 13 len behind Alien Angel with 57.5kg at $151. When resuming last campaign ninth of 11 at Moe Mdn-Sw July 3 over 1217m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Clarapatra carrying 57.5kg at $101. Looks outclassed here.

Mare by Endless Drama facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Flemington on October 9. Been trialling well and aided by the inside alley.

Last start eased back early on 4th of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 20 over 1000m, 7 len behind Saturn Sky with 57.5kg at $91. The race before that got back early 9th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Warracknabeal on August 15 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Azzurri Queen with 57.5kg at $101. Might struggle again.
