Cambridge (G) Race 3

WE LOVE OUR DOGS THEY LOVE TO RACE STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,800

TEXAS SNAKEBITE (4) was well fancied as favourite latest and led for much of the way but faded to place, beaten a head (38.05) at this track in a Class 0 over 650m. Raced over ground last start and drops back to a middle distance today. Must come into calculations. HOOKED ON JAZZ (5) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 11 lengths (22.04). Suited by the extra trip here. Hard to beat again. NIGHT FLIGHT (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 650m behind Opawa Thunder (38.87) in a Class 0. Has ability and can atone. KIND OF MAGIC (6) steps up slightly in class today but cannot be underestimated.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 375m at this track. Not doing enough to be considered.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (21.90) over 375m at this track. Looks one of the chances.
