Best bets and value play for Cranbourne races Friday night

A consistent performer from the Gavin Bedggood stable can post another win while a Nigel Blackiston-trained mare could send the punters home happy after Friday night’s Cranbourne meeting.

News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Friday’s meeting at Cranbourne.

BEST BET

GROUSE MOUNTAIN (Race 4 No.6): The four-year-old is racing in consistent form and should be hard to hold out again at Cranbourne.

NEXT BEST

KAZUNGULA (Race 2 No.4): The lightly raced stayer went down narrowly at his first run for 14 months at Geelong first-up. Expecting him to be much fitter.

LEGEND OF DUBAI (Race 6 No.1): Legend Of Dubai raced on the speed before scoring first-up and will be better for it. He’ll be in it for a long way again second-up.

VALUE BET

THINK I’M FAMOUS (Race 7 No.10): Think I’m Famous closed steadily at her first run for a month last time out. She’s had a similar break for this and will run well again.
