Cambridge Race 8

Vetora Cambridge Sprint Pbd

Prize Money: AUD $3,636

GOLLY GOSH RAJA (7) is a well-performed sprinter ideally suited at shorter trips. Was a strong winner last time (21.02) over 375m at this track in a Class 5. Solid record here at this trip including five wins. Has a strong record out of this box with six wins and two minor placings from nine starts. Can continue on his winning ways. MAD PADDY (3) ran a head turning 21.04 winning over 375m at this track last start. In form and looks like a leading player again. BIG TIME HANK (8) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 8 lengths away in seventh (26.31). Was in the money the start prior. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Has ability and can atone. THRILLING DOZER (5) was in the money last time at this track (21.36) in a Class 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Already a winner from this draw and is capable of taking this out.

Missed the frame latest (26.31) when seventh over 457m at this track in a Class 4/5. Has one success and three minors from seven starts from box 8. Key chance and should go close.
