Cambridge (G) Race 7

CLUBHOUSE CAMBRIDGE STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,400

WONDERING WHY (3) missed the frame last time but before three back recorded the quickest win (30.97) on the program at Manukau in a SPECA. Key player on best and worth another chance. KIND OF MAGIC (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (38.68) last time in a Class 0 at this track. Form here sound including two wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to be about the mark. SWEET BONANZA (6) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at Wanganui Straight last time over 313m in (17.95). In top form and looks a key chance again. HOOKED ON JAZZ (5) missed the placings when well backed last time but can do better.

Was out of placings last time (22.11) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should feature.
