Cambridge Race 1

WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY DISTANCE

Prize Money: $5,727

AIN'T IT FUN (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (26.17) from Box 4 at this track over 457m. Has a very good strike rate from this draw, with three wins from five starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. UNIQUE SUNRISE (3) goes very well here starting nine times for three wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (26.32) in a Class 4/5, finishing an 8 length seventh. Among the main chances. TRENZALORE (5) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at Manawatu over 720m behind Johnny Football (43.54) in an INVdf. Form from his last run is proving strong. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. CARAT SMUGGLER (7) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Expected to feature on best form.

Missed the frame latest (38.45) when fourth over 650m at this track in a Class 1/2. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from eight starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 650m at this track beaten 1.3 lengths (38.16) behind Opawa Ingrid in a Class 0 on April 24. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.
