WASCALY went super on debut and should go on with the job, while a $26 roughie, who was luckless last start, is among the selections for the Cranbourne races.

CRANBOURNE
BEST BET
WASCALY
R5 No. 2 $2.20
Won with such authority on debut - coming from midfield to bolt in by 3.3 lengths on a heavy track - that rise in class seems within the four-year-old gelding‘s grasp.
NEXT BEST
SASKATOON
R2 No. 12 $2.70
Scratched from a similar maiden recently. Respect the stable-jockey combination.
WISH I MIGHT
R8 No. 13 $4.40
Won first-up and placed in three of past five starts. Hard fit, drawn nicely and should be right in the finish again.
VALUE BET
THE AMAZONIAN
R3 No. 12 $16
Kept finding to the line first-up after a break on the Ballarat Synthetic. Extra 200m looks ideal and drawn to get favours in the run.
HOSTAR
R6 No. 6 $26
Doesn‘t win often but jockey had lapful of horse last start at Echuca when blocked for runs. Sticky gate again so will need luck but worth following.
THE JOCKEY
LUKE CURRIE
Group 1 winner should be hard to hold out in the jockeys‘ challenge. Three of five rides for astute local trainers a bonus too.
FLY ON BYE (R1 No. 9 $5), SONG OF THE NILE (R3 No. 10 $4.40), TOP HONOURS (R4 No. 12 $7.50), INTO RIO (R6 No. 2 $9.50) and CIRCLE OF MAGIC (R7 No. 13 $7.50)
