Cambridge (G) Race 9

THANKS TO OUR RACEDAY OFFICIALS PBD

Stake: $3,200

OPAWA PHILIPA (4) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only a neck (31.15) behind Best Bet Benny at Manukau. Beaten by a smart young dog last start. Deserves serious consideration. SWEET BONANZA (6) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including four wins and two placings. Below best last time at Manawatu (26.49) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 7 length sixth. Can feature with the right run. DYNAMITE BOY (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (19.31) in a Class 3 at Manukau. Form at the trip sound including eight wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can do much better this time. THRILLING TOMMY (2) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start. Getting to the veteran stage but still retains enough dash to be competitive.
