Cambridge Race 10

May Hounds Greyhound Rehoming Group Stakes

Prize Money: $5,363

PORTLAND PIPPA (8) has an impressive record and comes into this as the quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 2.75 lengths (25.58). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Ideally placed to take this out. BROCKIE'S LUCK (2) goes very well this course and distance starting seven times for three wins and two minors. Placed last time (30.39) at Wanganui in Class 5, finishing third and beaten 1.4 lengths. Among the main chances. OPAWA DANNY (7) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (25.77) at this track in a Class 5 over 457m. Can measure up. IVORY GIRL (4) picked up a cheque over this course and distance most recently - in the mix again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 375m in 21.06. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 375m at this track at Class 4 level. Likely to find this too tough.

Did a good job two starts back at Manukau to win by 3.5 lengths in 30.42, beating Spin Black. Last start finished 4th on November 14 over 457m at this track behind Portland Pippa beaten 5.5 lengths (25.97) in a Class 5. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
