Friday night racing heads to the Cranbourne Turf Club for the first time in the 2023/24 racing season with a nine-race card set down for decision. Showers are forecast in the leadup to the meeting, so we doubt the Good 4 rating at the time of acceptances will stand, with a Soft 6 track expected. The rail is in its true position, with action commencing at 5:45pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Cranbourne: Time Of My Life
The well-bred Time Of My Life was an impressive debut winner at Geelong on September 15 and can go on with the job on Friday night. The half-sister to Winx took a sit just off the leaders on debut and put her rivals away like a good horse should. She steps up to the 1200m from the 1121m and, in the small field of seven, should be able to lob in a stalking role once again from barrier six. Time Of My Life is clearly the horse with the most upside in the race, and with natural improvement, it should prove too good for this lot.

Next Best at Cranbourne: Bombtastic Boy
Bombtastic was a smart Cranbourne 1200m winner two runs back, and following an unlucky second at Moe last time out, he can return to the winner’s stall on Friday night. The five-year-old gelding arguably should have won at Moe when desperately held up for a run, before running on late when finding one better. From barrier seven, look for Carleen Hefel to keep one off the rail close to the speed. If he can avoid any issues in running, Bombtastic Boy will take a power of beating.

Next Best Again at Cranbourne: Moonshine Annie
At start five, we expect the Richard Laming-trained Moonshine Annie to break the maiden ranks. The four-year-old mare comes to Cranbourne on the back of an unlucky run at Sale, where she was crucially held up for a run, before jumping out of the ground late to finish second. She went down by 1.25 lengths on that day and arguably should have won. From barrier 11 on Friday, if Wiremu Pinn can land her in the one-one, she should avoid traffic issues. If that is the case, Moonshine Annie simply wins.
Next Best Again
Race 4 – 
#4 Moonshine Annie (11)
4yo Mare | T: Richard Laming | J: Wiremu Pinn (58kg)
