Cambridge Race 2

PIZZA AND BEER NIGHT SKYLINE LOUNGE - 9TH OCT MOBILE PACE

Stake: $8,000

THE SAVOY (4) finished seventh last start, beaten 17 metres at Alexandra Park over 1700m. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. OPA'S GIRL (1) is a two-year-old filly from the Arna Donnelly stable on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and is well-placed to score at her first appearance. LIFE LESS ORDINARY (5) is a two-year-old gelding by Always B Miki from Take A Bet on debut. Capable of taking this out. GILDA (3) could only finish 11th over 1700m at Alexandra Park most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix for some minor money.
