THE LAST WORD FROM CRAN . . .

FORBURY PARK TC, Thursday, Sept 2

Race 2: ANVILS NEVER EASY (5), mobile 2200m: "I'm quite pleased with her and that race should suit her. She's quite good front-ending and the draw is favourable if we can get there."

Photo: Anvils Never Easy, shown leading up for trials reinsman Rory McIlwrick at the Addington trials last month. She was outfinished by a nose by Nearea Franco (4th mostly) in the trial. Anvils Never Easy then was beaten out for the front from an inside draw first-up at Invercargill and later encountered traffic problems finishing 4th. She should be hard to beat if she leads at Forbury Park on Thursday night.
