A rare Wednesday meeting at Cranbourne Turf Club greets us this week with an eight-race program set down for decision. With plenty of rain forecast for the region on Tuesday, it is unlikely that we remain on the Good 4 that the track has been rated at the time of acceptances. The rail sticks to the true position, with action set to get underway at 1pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Cranbourne: Tidal Force
Former New Zealand galloper Tidal Force makes his Australian debut in the opener at Cranbourne. Now with the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young barn, the four-year-old gelding brings more than acceptable form to a midweek maiden and, with even luck, should be too good here. Blaike McDougall will have the son of Darci Brahma settled towards the rear of the field, and with a powerful motor under his bonnet, Tidal Force should be breaking maiden ranks at the first time of asking in Australia.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#6 Tidal Force (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Blaike McDougall (59.5kg)

Next Best at Cranbourne: Pickaxe
With three minor placings to his name from four starts, Pickaxe looks to have struck a winnable 1400m maiden here. He had to work early to find the lead at Sandown last time out when finishing midfield, but his runs leading into that effort suggest he will take a power of beating on Wednesday. Jamie Kah will have him leading from barrier 12 upon settling, and with race fitness on his side, Pickaxe looks a great play.
Next Best
Race 3 – 
#5 Pickaxe (12)
4yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace | J: Jamie Kah (59.5kg)
+120 with PendleburyBet
Best Value at Cranbourne: Magnetic Prince
Magnetic Prince got the chocolates at Mount Gambier as an odds-on favourite, and his efforts prior to that have him right in this 1400m BM64 affair. The six-year-old gelding hardly knows how to run a poor race, winning twice and placing one other time in six runs this campaign. He is aided by Luke Cartwright’s 3kg claim, which will only benefit his chances of running on from the rear of the field. The race looks perfectly set up for a backmarker to pounce, and we’re hoping it is Magnetic Prince who does just that.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#2 Magnetic Prince (12)
6yo Gelding | T: Daniel Bowman | J: Luke Cartwright (a3) (63.5kg)
+1000 with Dabble
