Cambridge Race 1

WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,636

CHANCE TO SHINE (5) had been racing well with a SPECA win three back, then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Manukau. Looks suited here, and some big improvement is expected. JOE BANANAS (4) led all the way last time out to score by a long neck (18.96) at Manukau in a SPECA over 318m. Shapes as a top winning chance on the latest effort. BOOM LATERAL (7) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Manawatu over 720m behind Johnny Football (42.85) in a INVdf. Was in the money prior to that. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Can measure up this time. GO RUBY (2) is new to this course, but is not to be underestimated.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.18) over 390m at Ascot Park. Draws an inside box and can measure up.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 305m at Wanganui. Prefer in something easier.

Solid performance to win by a long neck at Manukau over 318m (18.96) beating Big Time Lockey in SPECA on April 19. Top chance again.

Missed the frame latest (19.31) when fifth over 318m at Manukau in a SPECA. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (42.85) in a INVdf, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has two wins and five placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a SPECA on April 19 over 318m at Manukau behind Joe Bananas beaten 9 lengths (19.65). Placed two back at Manukau. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.
