Races ORX Cambridge - NZ

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on June 17 over 970m, 1.4 len behind Angels Brew carrying 56kg at $9.90. The run before that won by a long-neck at this track June 3 over 970m defeating Opaea Joe with 56kg at $2.80. Certainly worth another chance.

Third-up today. First-up 5th of 12 at this track on June 17 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Anton with 55kg at $10.60. Second run from a spell ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by a long-neck at this track July 9 over 1300m defeating Oban carrying 54kg at $13.20. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation ninth of 16 at Ellerslie in the G1 Nz Derby March 7 over 2400m, 6 len behind Road To Paris with 57kg at $69.50. On debut won by nose Matamata October 17 over 1200m on heavy track defeating Elusive Faith carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Solid top-three chance.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track on July 9 over 1300m, long-neck behind Rocmont with 54kg at $9. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at this track on June 17 over 1300m, 1.3 len behind Anton with 55kg at $7. Can improve again. Expected to be very competitive.

Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 6th of 8 at this track on July 9 over 1300m, 4 len behind Rocmont carrying 51kg at $30.90. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Tauherenikau on November 1 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Sheez Dominant carrying 59kg at $5.10. Is a second up winner in the past and should improve on the last effort.

Second-up. First-up after four months got back early 6th of 10 at this track on July 9 over 970m, 1.75 len behind Lady Iris carrying 55kg at $15.90. Previously second-up 5th of 11 at Taupo on December 28 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Now Not Never with 56kg at $13.90. In the mix on best form.

Gelding back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at Te Rapa Sc February 7 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind That's Gold with 57kg at $59.60. First up last campaign second of 10 at Taupo August 17 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Mista Stitch carrying 58.5kg at $3. Has to be respected.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a four months break. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Matamata F&M Mdn-Sw March 22 over 1400m, soft track; 11 len behind Artamos carrying 55kg at $34.90. On debut ninth of 11 at Te Aroha March 6 over 1150m, soft track; 5 len behind Emma Twigg with 57kg at $15.50. Prefer to see how she has returned.

Dual acceptor. Gelding by Ardrossan facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Ellerslie on March 10 over 1100m. Looks tested in this line-up.
