Cambridge (G) Race 8

NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

CARTOON (2) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing seventh (19.12) in a Class 4 at Manukau. Generally fast to begin but was always well back despite the low draw last time. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Rates on top in this line up. TURTLE WATCH (3) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Manukau over 527m behind Opawa Stacy (31.68) in a Class 4/5. Was in the money prior to that. Key runner on best form. OPAWA TAILS (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (21.78) last time in a Class 4 at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Cannot be left out. KIWI MOMENTS (4) is worth some thought after placing second here last start after racing on the speed.

Was out of placings last time (19.12) at Manukau in a Class 4, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Looks a leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 21.74, beating Cartoon. Last start finished 5th in a Class 4 on June 26 over 375m at this track behind Aces beaten 7 lengths (21.95). Others hold stronger claims.
