Cambridge (G) Race 8

NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,200

OPAWA PHILIPA (2) hit the frame 13 on end before being rewarded with a deserved win last time, scoring at Manukau over 527m (31.00). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Sure to prove hard to beat. NOT ANOTHER (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (18.91) in a Class 3 at Manukau. Leading chance. CHEF'S MATE (8) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 5 lengths (21.47) at this track in a Class 2 over 375m. Must be included in calculations. SATAN'S SONG (3) won by a wide margin last start. Hard to beat again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Manukau over 527m in 31.00 last start, beating Grande Vue Ace. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Good performance to win by 1.75 lengths at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.98) beating Big Time Ultra in Class 2 on May 13. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd on May 15 over 375m at this track behind Epic Pepper beaten 1.2 lengths (21.61) in a Class 3. Others read better.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (21.74) over 375m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is in the mix.

Good performance to post a big 5 lengths win at this track over 375m (21.47) beating Zipping Bestow in Class 2 on May 22. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
