Cambridge Race 2

NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Stake: $4,700

ACES (4) jumps from box 3 again after scoring (26.19) last time at this track over 457m. In form and can measure up again despite meeting a stronger field. NORDIC DELIGHT (8) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (18.86) at Manukau in a Class 3 over 318m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. PEREZ JEWEL (7) pinged the lids and was in the firing line throughout but drifted out of it when 6th at this track in a Class 4/5. Does drop back in class and should be about the money. WOW SHE'S SLOW (6) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit. On occasions can show early box speed.

Missed the frame latest (21.76) when fourth over 375m at this track in a Class 3. Has four successes and four minors from 13 starts from box 3. Not keen this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.75 lengths over 457m at this track in a handy 26.19, beating Hooked On Jazz. Expected to go well again.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (22.22) over 375m at this track. Capable of taking this out.

Last start finished 2nd over 318m at Manukau beaten a nose (18.86) behind Papa Kiwi in a Class 3 on July 12. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Racing well and is the one they have to overcome.
