News Corp form analyst Brad Waters runs the rule over Thursday’s Cranbourne meeting.

BEST BET

PURE DEAL (Race 5 No.1 – $3.60)

Pure Deal has been good to punters with wins at his last two runs either side of a hurdle trial. He’s up in weight but the stayer is flying and can win again.

NEXT BEST

FAST WITNESS (Race 1 No.2 – $2.40)

Fast Witness covered a but of ground but was strong to the line in a promising debut second. The colt part-owned by Billy Brownless is poised to go one better at Cranbourne.

SKYBEAM (Race 4 No.6 – $5.50)

Trialled OK before he was outsprinted when resuming at Sale. He’ll be fitter for that and the rise to 1600m will be perfect for the son of Reliable Man second-up.

VALUE BET

SWIFT HIT (Race 6 No.7 – $14)

Swift Hit raced on the speed but was only grabbed late over 1300m on this track last time but the gelding has a strong 1200m record. He’s a great each-way chance again.

THE JOCKEY

ETHAN BROWN

Ethan Brown has a book of seven rides and bookies give the jockey a chance to boot home multiple winners. FAST WITNESS (Race 1 No.2 – $2.40), SIGNAL (Race 2 No.6 – $3.40) or SNOW BUSINESS (Race 2 No.12 – $14), SKIPPING GIRL (Race 3 No.10 – $9.50), PORT PHILLIP (Race 4 No.3 – $3.10), FIELDS OF GRACE (Race 5 No.7 – $6), WAITAPU (Race 7 No.8 – $6.50), ALPHAVILLE (Race 8 No.1 – $7.50).
