Cambridge (G) Race 4

THANKS TO OUR TRACK STAFF PBD

Stake: $2,900

MILADY MELVA (2) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (21.67) there the start prior. Has a strong record here at this journey including two wins. Worth another chance. BLONDES HAVE FUN (7) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten a head (21.60). Must be included in calculations. NINETEEN RED (5) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought. Despite a tricky box draw.

Has hit the frame at his last four runs, the latest finishing second in 31.42 at Manukau. Awkward draw to overcome. Sure to play a big role.
