Cambridge (G) Race 5

COPRICE WORKING DOG BEEF SERIES HEAT 4 PBD

Stake: $2,900

LION BE GOOD (2) was always prominent from this same draw last time and boxed on well to place (21.84) in a Class 1 over 375m at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close. MAXIMA (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.6 lengths at Manukau in a handy 18.88 beating Big Time Lockey. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. NINA'S GIFT (3) was a course and distance placegetter (21.78) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 6 length second in a Class 1. Rates a key player. WAERENGA TRIBE (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Was out of placings last time (21.90) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Will need the right run.

Was out of the placings last time at Manukau but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching six minors in a row. Awkwardly drawn and looks safely held.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (18.89) over 318m at Manukau. Drawn out wide and will need everything to go his way.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished last over 457m at this track beaten 6 lengths (26.41) behind Sweet Bonanza in a Class 1/2 on May 29. Capable of taking this out.
