Cambridge Race 8

GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

GO BELLA (8) filled a minor placing last start at Manawatu behind Tira Miss You (21.71) in a Class 4. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. One of the leading chances. PORTLAND MAGIC (7) missed the frame last time when fifth (18.97) at Manukau but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. In the mix. TIN TIN BUST (5) is a handy type who was well below best latest at this track, finishing fifth (21.90) in a Class 4. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Comes through a solid form race last start. Should be about the mark. OPAWA DANNY (4) is a last-start placegetter and was not beaten too far - in the mix again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 375m at Manawatu. Happy to risk this time.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 4 at Manawatu when a 0.7 lengths second but did run a decent 21.52 over the 375m journey. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Missed the frame when fifth over 375m at this track in 21.90 fresh. Had been going well prior to a spell. Finds it hard to win but has a consistent record overall. Has claims here on best form.
