Cambridge Race 7

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAYLEEN! MOBILE PACE

Stake: $8,000

ALWAYS B AN ANGEL (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in third over 2200m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up and she is a strong winning hope. VALEREI (1) finished seventh last start, beaten 9 metres at this course over 2200m. Expected to run well from the pegs draw. FLYING DRAGON (4) is a three-year-old gelding from the Tony Herlihy stable on debut. Capable of taking this out. AQUILA (6) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth when resuming over 2200m here on May 15. Strips fitter now and can play a role in the outcome.

Two back was third behind St John Eight at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on April 15 at $12.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Dreams Of Eric at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on May 22 at $3.10. Sure to play a major role.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 2200m at Alexandra Park, beaten 16 m by Beaudiene Hunter (2:46.10) in 3yo+ on May 16 at $18. Two runs back 8th (Fr5) over 2200m at Alexandra Park well beaten by Carrera Hombre (2:41.80) in 3yo+ on February 28 at $20. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
