Stake: $2,600

FOXTROT MILA (6) below best last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.93) in a Class 1, finishing a 5 length fifth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MISS ROWDY (3) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw, finishing fourth by 4 lengths (17.95). Worth following up. ZIPPING BESTOW (2) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Toxic Venom (22.31) in a Class 2. Scored at his previous run. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. WIDE BOY (5) placed last time and is worth some thought. Include in all combinations.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Last start finished last over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 13 lengths (22.31) behind Toxic Venom in a Class 2 on March 6. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 4th over 305m at Wanganui beaten 4 lengths (17.95) behind Thrilling Carlos in a Class 3 on February 28. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.23) in a Class 2, finishing a 5 length fifth. Has one success and five minors from 11 starts from box 4. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hit the frame again last time when third (31.24) at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Solid top-three prospects.
