Cambridge (G) Race 1

WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY DISTANCE

Stake: $4,700

FEAR TO TREAD (6) was in the money again last start when second at Wanganui (30.31). Key player on best and expected to bounce back. CARAT SMUGGLER (4) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing sixth (38.63) at this track latest. Deserves plenty of respect. BIG TIME HILARY (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Wanganui following on from a third place finish (26.39) at Manawatu the start prior. Bold showing expected. THRILLING AMALIE (1) placed when heading the market last time - cannot be ignored.
