Cambridge Race 2

NIGHTRAVE REHOMING AGENCY FOR GREYHOUNDS SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

IRIS HAZE (5) is a handy type who notched her 5th career success when too good (21.65) from Box 5 at this track. Boasts two wins from four starts out of this box. Steps up in class today but is still a great chance to get the job done again. PORTLAND AVATAR (8) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length fifth (22.13) but scored three back at Manukau (18.81). Strong form has emerged from his last run. Expected to feature in the finish. PORTLAND NICKY (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (18.74) at Manukau. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Expected to feature in the finish. HILLBILLY HEIST (4) just an average beginner but mapped to get a soft run. Cannot be underestimated.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (18.83) over 318m at Manukau. Likely to lead them early.

Most recent effort finished 4th in a Class 3 on January 22 over 375m at this track behind Love It beaten 5 lengths (22.06). Coming out of a very strong form race. Looks one of the chances.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 21.65 last start, beating Wave Dancer. Go close.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 527m at Manukau. Hard to entertain this time.

Closed last campaign finishing sixth at this track over 650m three-and-a-half months ago. Did have a solo trial (21.48) on this track over 375m. Will find this to short and others preferred this time.

Missed the frame latest (22.13) when fifth over 375m at this track in a Class 3. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from four starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
