GO JOHNNY WHO HANDICAP TROT

Prize Money: -

KINK (5) scored a dominant win at this circuit and distance two runs ago before another good showing when third at his latest appearance at Cambridge. Building a strong record here and looks a big chance to return to the winners' list. MANCHESTER IN TIME (6) comes here just a couple of days after a win over 2000m at this venue. Cops a bigger handicap and goes up in distance but has won at this trip six times before. ORDAINED (3) is in the mix following a respectable third from this mark at his most recent appearance here. TIKI (4) got it wrong on Tuesday but has claims off a win here two back.
