PORTLAND ABIGAIL (6) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins and two placings. Below best last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.95) in a Class 1, finishing a 9 length fourth. Looks the one to beat with even luck. AU FAIT (7) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 1.5 lengths second behind Forever Flicky in 18.97. Has reliable box manners and a bold showing expected again. NETHERTON FLYER (4) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 5.5 lengths (21.66) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1 over 375m. Not the quickest into stride but really does power home late. Hard to beat again. AFFECTIONATELY (5) in the money here last time and looks a top-three prospect again.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished 5th in a Class 1 on February 26 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Lord Arrow beaten 7 lengths (22.16). Some good form emerging from that last run. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Class 1 on February 22 over 318m at this track behind Midnight Rex beaten 10 lengths (19.46). Placed two back at this track. Keep safe.
