Cambridge (G) Race 6

THANKS TO ALL OUR REHOMING AGENCIES STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,400

SIMEK (3) was a most impressive winner after leading them home for his six straight win at this track over 375m (21.60). Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from two starts. The hardest to beat again. TEXAS SNAKEBITE (4) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. In the money last time at Wanganui Straight (17.63) in a Class 1, finishing a 2.25 lengths third. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HOOKED ON JAZZ (5) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. Will need luck early from the draw. Something for the Multiples: TIN TIN BUST (9)

Won his last six in a row including a strong win last start over 375m at this track by 4 lengths in a Class 1 FIN. The form out of the last run measures up. Looks well placed and can measure up again.
