Cambridge Race 7

FIND ADOPTION AGENCIES ON LINE PBD

Prize Money: $5,182

NORDIC DELIGHT (7) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 6 lengths from the winner (19.23) at Manukau in Class 2/3. Extra distance should suit and likely to feature again. WAERENGA SONIC (3) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 318m at Manukau two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at Manukau last start. Expected to be in the finish again. EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (19.30) at Manukau behind Portland Abigail in a Class 2/3. Has the pace to be prominent. Bold showing expected. BLONDES HAVE FUN (4) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Jumped well at Manukau two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Manukau last start over 318m. Looks a key chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 313m at Wanganui Straight beaten 3 lengths (17.52) behind Wet Blanket in a Class 3 on July 28. Placed two back at Wanganui Straight. Look for improvement. Has claims if at his best.
