Cambridge Race 6

GARRARDS SIRES STAKES 3YO C & G SEMI-FINAL 1 MOBILE PACE

Stake: $50,000

GOT THE CHOCOLATES (2) has the hoof on the till after finishing runner-up in both starts since a spell, last time chasing topliner Marketplace in the Harness Million 3CG Final. Suited back to a distance where he has recorded a win and a placing from two attempts and draws well. Should be peaking third-up so can strike. MIDNIGHT MIKI (3) did well from a tough draw on the back row for fourth in the Harness Million Final. Much better served by this barrier and had kicked off his campaign with back-to-back Addington wins. Major player. CAPTAIN SAMPSON (11) won his only previous second-up attempt so will be fitter for the resuming fourth and is suited dropping to a distance where he has recorded three wins and a placing from four attempts. BETTORS ANVIL (8) draws wide but wasn't far away from a similar barrier when fresh two back and was good when placed in the Harness Million Final last time.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Runkle Crunch at Alexandra Park over 2200m in a 3yo+ on March 14 at $5.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Runkle Crunch at Alexandra Park over 2200m in a 3yo+ on March 21 at $2. One of the chances.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 4.5 m (Sr3) at Alexandra Park (2:40.90) beating Carrera Hombre in 3yo+ on March 21 at $3.10. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
