Cambridge Race 1

GREYHOUNDS NORTH GRADUATION DISTANCE

Stake: $4,900

GONE WALKABOUT (5) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage fourth (26.10) at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. SWEET AND SASSY (8) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on her slick win the start prior, getting around Wanganui over 520m in 30.11. Expected to feature on best figures. NIGHT FLIGHT (7) goes very well here starting 11 times for four wins and two minors. Scored by a neck last time (26.01) in a Class 3 over 457m at this track. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. GO SKY (4) has ability and finds the right line-up to bounce back to form.

Missed the frame latest (17.86) when fourth over 313m at Wanganui Straight in a Class 1. Starts from box 1 for the first time here. Makes strong appeal on best.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (30.96) over 527m at Manukau. Has a solid record off the draw and is in the mix.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (26.61) at this track last start. Has a solid record off the tricky draw but prefer each-way.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Manukau over 527m. Last start finished 4th on March 27 over 457m at this track behind Opawa Tails beaten 5 lengths (26.10) in a Class 4. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui over 520m. Last start finished 5th in a Class 2/3 on March 28 over 520m at Wanganui behind Time To Race beaten 6 lengths (30.62). Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
