Cambridge Race 5

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

ROVANIEMI (7) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (21.95) at this track in a Class 3. Will be improved after the first look at the track last start. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. SPOT THE ANGEL (8) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at this track over 375m behind Ferrari Jewel (22.40) in a Class 3. Placed at her previous run. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. STAR BOYS SHOUT (3) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this box to place last time at this track (21.78), making it three straight minors. Is usually a quick beginner and looks a key chance. COCOON THE FOOD (6) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought. Will hit the line stronger than most.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he recorded a good 17.24 over 295m finishing second at Addington. More than capable and has to be included.
