Cambridge Race 3

WAIKATO THOROUGHBRED RACING MOBILE PACE

Stake: $8,000

AQUILA (6) is a newcomer to the Meredith stable having last appeared when midfield at Central Southland. Should be ready off a workout win so can make an immediate impact. FOR ALWAYS ARDEN (3) faces the starter for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the Tony Herlihy stable. Has the benefit of a good draw. Well-placed to score at his first appearance. VALEREI (1) lines up for the first time. By Vincent and is from the David Butcher stable. Likely to get all the favours from this draw so expect a strong showing. HEARTS N ACES (9) didn't perform to market expectations last time but placed in his previous two outings at Manawatu so is worth another chance.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Debrief at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on April 22 at $142.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Dunkalledy at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on May 6 at $17.10. Has to be respected.
