Race 3 – Hertz Cranbourne Corinthian (1200 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 2 Qubella<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

QUBELLA (2)<\/strong> was beaten just under a length at Wodonga last start and looks suited by the return to Cranbourne.<\/p>\n

The Barry Goodwin-trained runner won five starts back at Pakenham Synthetic and gets Madison Morris back aboard who boasts an impressive record of four wins from five rides.<\/p>\n

The tongue tie goes on for the first time as she contests The Corinthian, which marks the official start of Victoria\u2019s picnic racing season.<\/p>\n

She brings relevant form into a race featuring horses and connections from the picnic circuit.<\/p>\n

Race 4 – John Duff & Co Maiden Plate (1200 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 9 Ghana’s Akan<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

GHANA\u2019S AKAN (9)<\/strong> returns to maiden grade after tackling strong black-type company, including the Group 1 Blue Diamond and Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview.<\/p>\n

The Ciaron Maher-trained filly was also runner-up in the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes and has consistently measured up against stakes-class opposition.<\/p>\n

She finished eighth in the Group 3 Scarborough Stakes last start, but this is a significant drop in class.<\/p>\n

Her black-type form and favourable barrier gives her a strong chance to break through.<\/p>\n

Race 6 – Frankston Sand Soil & Mini Mix Handicap (1600 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 5 Cushioned<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

CUSHIONED (5)<\/span><\/b> was doing her best work late when resuming at Geelong last start so she should appreciate the rise in distance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained mare settled a long way back before picking off several runners to finish 3.6 lengths fourth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She’ll strip fitter and finished a half-length second over a similar distance at Sale when second-up in her first preparation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She maps to get an economical run for Daniel Stackhouse.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 8 – Highview Accounting & Financial Pinker Pinker Plate (2025 METRES)<\/div>\n
No. 2 Ocean Bay<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

OCEAN BAY (2)<\/strong> has been in great form this preparation with three wins from four starts and finished second over this course and distance last start, beaten 2.5 lengths.<\/p>\n

The Grahame Begg-trained mare had to chase the leader, who controlled the race and got all the favours in front.<\/p>\n

She faces a tougher test in the Listed Pinker Pinker Plate, and conditions may be no worse than a Soft 5.<\/p>\n

She can still feature again if she gets a more favourable race shape.<\/p>\n
