Cambridge Race 3

CLUBHOUSE CAMBRIDGE STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

NETHERTON FLYER (5) lines up here off a comfortable win at this track after jumping from box 3 (21.83). Box manners not the best but does have a powerful finish over this distance. The one to beat again with luck in running. VAL JEWEL (4) steps out a further 82m to an untried trip. In the money last start when second (19.05) at Manukau over 318m. Predicted to lead them early and can measure up. HOOKED ON JAZZ (7) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 14 lengths away in third (27.16). Racing well and deserves a win. SLEEP TIGHT (6) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start. Odds will be appealing.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Having her first start over this trip. Last start finished second at Manukau over 318m in (19.05). Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 375m at this track in a handy 21.83, beating Opawa Freya. Should be prominent.
