Then last outing 8th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Chase A Dream (1:51.40) on March 28 at $9.60. Gets the inside draw but this looks too hard.

Rising Australian star. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr9) at Menangle (1:49.30) beating Im The Falcon in No NR on March 22 at $1.20. Two runs back won by 1.3 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at Menangle (1:48.40) beating Leap To Fame in G1 No NR on March 8 at $3.70 at the bell was 2nd-3.2m 2WNC. Beat Leap To Fame to win the Miracle Mile two back and gets the same draw so could do it again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Took out a Group 2 in Australia two back. Last start won by a neck (Sr3) at Alexandra Park (2:36.60) beating Mo'unga in on March 21 at $3.60. Must respect winning form.

3-10 Cambridge Raceway 28Mar25 1609MS $57,900 FFA MOBILE Jonny Cox $7, btn 8.1m, wnr Chase A Dream , 1:51.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Going well including a solid effort last start; 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Chase A Dream (1:51.40) on March 28 at $6.50. Last effort had merit but from this draw he has the job ahead.

2-10 Cambridge Raceway 28Mar25 1609MS $57,900 FFA MOBILE Zachary Butcher $2, btn 5.4m, wnr Chase A Dream , 1:51.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Big effort from a back row draw last start for 2nd (Sr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5m by Chase A Dream (1:51.40) on March 28 at $2.20. Last year's winner with a great record here and could be peaking at the right time again.

1-6 Albion Park 22Mar25 1660MS $20,770 No NR Grant Dixon $1, won by 2nd Jimartee , 1:48.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Champion Australian making his New Zealand debut. Brave second in the Miracle Mile two back. Last start won by 23 m as favourite (Fr6) at Albion Park (1:52.00) beating Jimartee in No NR on March 22 at $1.05. Brilliant pacer who is tough enough to overcome the wide draw and win.

1-10 Cambridge Raceway 28Mar25 1609MS $57,900 FFA MOBILE Mark Purdon $28, won by 2nd Merlin , 1:51.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted inwards near the 1400m when not sufficiently clear causing interference to Little Spike.

Last start won a big 5.5 m win (Fr6) at this track (1:51.40) beating Merlin in on March 28 at $27.60. Back in winning form and could be thereabouts.

4-10 Cambridge Raceway 28Mar25 1609MS $57,900 FFA MOBILE Gavin Smith $12, btn 8.6m, wnr Chase A Dream , 1:51.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Five-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Chase A Dream (1:51.40) on March 28 at $11.90. The poor draw makes this a difficult assignment. Unlikely to threaten in this tough assignment.

9-10 Cambridge Raceway 28Mar25 1609MS $57,900 FFA MOBILE Tim Williams $52, btn 34.6m, wnr Chase A Dream , 1:51.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Weakened in the run home.

Meets Chase A Dream again; when 35 metres ninth at this track over 1609m in a race on March 28. Looks outclassed.
