Racing Sharks VIP Tips Package:
Trainer Mick Price has had great success in the Cranbourne Cup in recent years, winning the race twice over its last six runnings. No jockey has quite been able to replicate that success of late, however, Craig Newitt has claimed victory twice in the last eight editions of the race.
Nominations for the 2020 Cranbourne Cup close on October 6, while final acceptances are two days later on October 8.
In 2019, Dr Drill won the race in 2:05.08 but the fastest Cranbourne Cup time in the last 21 years belongs to Figurehead. The Kay Lane-trained runner clocked 2:02.49 in 1999 to win the Cranbourne Cup.
