Cambridge (G) Race 11

GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND SPRINT PBD

Stake: $4,400

BIG TIME PROOF (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (17.56) at Wanganui Straight. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Can atone. WAERENGA TAILS (4) turned in a solid run last start over 375m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 4 lengths (21.55). Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. In the mix. LOVE IT (5) missed the frame last time when sixth (21.95) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can figure in the finish. PORTLAND INDIE (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing from this draw.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 375m. This looks too tough.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (21.55) at this track last start. Has a solid record off the tricky draw but looks a each way chance only this field.

Last start finished 6th in a Class 5 on May 22 over 375m at this track behind Portland Ding Us beaten 4 lengths (21.57). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
