Cranbourne Cup Day headlines the metro racing action in Melbourne this Saturday afternoon, with 10 quality races lined up. A scorcher is forecast, meaning we should get a hard and fast deck that moves to a Good 3 rating at some stage. The rail will be out 3m for the entire circuit, with the action at Cranbourne commencing at 12:20pm AEDT.
Cranbourne Cup Tip: Cadmus
Cadmus was hitting the line nicely over the mile first-up from a spell, and considering he tends to improve after his fresh run in each campaign, he can cause a boilover in the Cranbourne Cup. The six-year-old has two wins and a second from three second-up runs and loves a firm surface, while he has four wins and two minor placings from seven attempts on Good tracks. If Jye McNeil can find a back to follow into the race, Cadmus looks over the odds at $26 with BlondeBet.

The Meteorite Top Tip: Baraqiel
Baraqiel is a completely different animal when racing around a bend, and following a respectable effort in Group 1 company down the Flemington straight, he looks primed for the inaugural running of The Meteorite. Ben Allen will go forward from barrier eight and likely settle outside the lead or be in the one-one throughout. From there, Baraqiel should prove a touch too classy over the 1200m trip in the $1 million co-feature.

Best Bet at Cranbourne: Nation’s Call
Nation’s Call hardly runs a poor race, and following a gritty performance at Flemington, the son of Frankel can find his way back into the winner’s stall. The five-year-old gelding just couldn’t go with the progressive Angland over 1600m, but the step up to the 2025m should suit perfectly. He is a natural frontrunner, and in a race where he should gain a relatively easy lead, Nation’s Call can lead from barrier to box.

Next Best at Cranbourne: Romani Ite Domum
Romani Ite Domum has begun his career in style, winning his last two after finishing an unlucky second on debut. Drawn perfectly in barrier one as a natural on-speed galloper, Blake Shinn should not have to work too hard to take up the running. Leaders are traditionally hard to run down in the first couple of races at Cranbourne, which bodes well for Romani Ite Domum if he can get a cheap sectional and can kick off the bend,

Best Value at Cranbourne: Vienna Vixen
Vienna Vixen was beaten by the barest of margins at Bendigo on October 30 and presents great value with horse racing bookmakers. The five-year-old mare consistently runs into one better, but in a race where a few of these struggle to win themselves, the Foxwedge mare just needs to hold her form to be prominent. Ethan Brown will need a touch of luck from barrier 13, but with a stack of speed in the race, the pair will likely head towards midfield before charging home.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#11 Vienna Vixen (13)
