Cambridge Race 9

Garrards Horse & Hound Sprint Pbd

Stake: $3,100

ASTON BUNDY (3) clocked a strong 17.42 despite finishing fifth over 313m at Wanganui Straight last start. Smart run latest and looks like a key chance again here. PORTLAND JOHNNY (1) finished third (21.37) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 7th at Manukau. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Must be included in calculations. PORTLAND INDIE (2) was a fast 21.16 winner of a Class 3 at this track last start. Rates a leading chance if runs up to the latest. GOLLY GOSH RAJA (6) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in him.

Solid performance to win by one length at this track over 375m (21.16) beating Portland Nicky in Class 3 on November 14. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
