Cambridge Race 1

Greyhounds North Maiden Distance

Stake: $4,300

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (4) was out of placings last time (30.52) at Wanganui in a restricted age final, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat. ALPHA RAMBO (7) is having his first run over this longer distance. Missed the frame last time when 7th and beaten 7 lengths (30.66) at Wanganui. Can feature with the right run. OPAWA INGRID (8) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (38.02) at this track. Leading player again. OPAWA ISAAC (1) looks like an each-way chance with the aid of a perfect inside box draw.

Was out of placings last time (30.97) at Manukau in a Class 2/3, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and eight minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (38.52) over 650m at this track. Aided by a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.
