Cambridge Race 8

CLUBHOUSE CAMBRIDGE STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,400

SUPPOSE (3) has a strong record here, including three wins from six starts. Placed last time (18.65) at Manukau in a Class 3/4, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. NIGHT FLIGHT (6) goes very well this course and distance, starting nine times for three wins and two minors. Recorded a 1.4 lengths win (25.84) in a Class 2/3 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. HUNTER GEORGE (7) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (19.02), beaten 4.5 lengths. Finished second the start before. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from three attempts. One of the main contenders. OPAWA DALLAS (4) can find the frame without surprising.

Showed good improvement when second behind Portland Mark at Manukau last start over 318m (18.65). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Hit the frame latest (26.11) when third at this track in a Class 2/3. Has two successes and four minors from seven starts from box 4. Looks one of the chances.

Has finished in the money at her last four runs, the latest when second (31.08) at Manukau. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 457m in 25.84 last start, beating Go Cooper. Top chance again.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on March 30 over 318m at Manukau behind Portland Nicky beaten 4.5 lengths (19.02) in a Class 3. Placed two back at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
