Cambridge (G) Race 4

COPRICE WORKING DOG CHICKEN SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,900

OPAWA RANDY (4) bolted home by 7 lengths (18.76) at Manukau last time from box 3. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. The form from last race has been strong. Sure to prove hard to beat. BOOM LATERAL (8) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (21.55) at this track in a SPECA over 375m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to feature again. BUMRAH'S RAHUL (6) was a last-start winner (18.96) at Manukau in a Class 1 and will jump from box 6 for the first time. Capable of going well again. LION BE GOOD (3) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (21.75) at big odds over 375m at this track. Drawn a inside box but will need the breaks to go her way.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 318m at Manukau (18.76), beating Dullcie Dynamite. Query squeeze box draw. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 21.55 last start, beating Chance To Shine. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.
