Cambridge (G) Race 5

NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,200

BIG TIME CIRCUS (5) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (18.26) last time in a Class 3 at Wanganui. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Can atone. ACES (7) has a strong record this journey here with four wins and a minor from nine starts. Recorded a 5 length win (21.47) in a Class 2 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. OPAWA GO GIRL (4) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same box when second in a Class 3 at this track (21.56) and making it three straight placings. Harder here but expected to feature again. GO BELLA (8) can run a bold race on best form.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (18.95) at Manukau. Drawn close to the inside. Has to do a bit more.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 375m at this track. That followed a win two back in 21.58 beating Opawa Bait over 375m at this track. Prepared to just watch this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Class 3 on May 8 over 375m at this track behind Suppose beaten 0.8 lengths (21.56). Capable of a good showing.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a long neck at this track (21.68) beating Nineteen Red in a Class 1/2 on May 8. Better off looking to others.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting five wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won easily by 5 lengths at this track (21.47) beating Opawa Raisin in a Class 2 on May 8. In hot form and can take this out.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
