Cambridge Race 4

OUR DOGS LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,900

OPAWA INGRID (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth last time in a Class 1 at this track. Form here sound including four wins. Better than last start and worth following up. COCOON THE FOOD (6) was a strong winner last time by 7 lengths at Manukau in Class 1 in one of the quickest times on the program (31.26). Is yet to find the frame here from two. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Will go close again if runs up to latest. HUNTER JACK (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (31.71) last time in a Class 1 at Manukau. The form from his last run stacks up well. Should be in this for a long way. MILLIE'S CHOICE (8) can find the frame without surprising. Should be at decent odds today.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Class 1 on July 27 over 527m at Manukau behind Go Purple beaten 9 lengths (31.71). The form from last run stacks up well. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Latest effort finished last in a Class 1 on August 5 over 375m at Manawatu behind Goldstar Olivia beaten 3.5 lengths (22.05). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track in a Class 1, finishing a 2 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed seven times. Looks well placed and should feature.
