ORIGINAL WARRIOR (7) has a strong record this trip with 21 wins and 18 placings from 51 starts. Comes off a (30.38) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Class 4/5 over 525m at this track. Is a quick beginner who is also strong over the middle distance. Expected to be in the finish. ZESTFUL (1) beaten last start over the 457m at Cambridge Raceway but finished in the minors in a slick 25.64. Fast run latest and rates a key player again from the ace. OPAWA POSTMAN (2) is a progressive type who recorded his 8th career win last time out (25.63) at Cambridge Raceway. Has a good record at this journey. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Must be included in calculations. STUCK THROTTLE (6) won as favourite last time and is a major player again. Meets a very talented field today.

Was edged out last time at Cambridge Raceway when beaten just a head but did clock a fast 25.64 over the 457m trip. Hard to beat.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a head at Cambridge Raceway over 457m (25.63) beating Zestful in Class 5 on March 12. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Stick with him.

Finished in the minors last time when third (30.65) at this track, making it two placings on end. Drawn close to the inside. No easier here and likely to struggle.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.29. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Class 4/5 a week ago. Must keep safe.

Did a good job two starts back at Cambridge Raceway to win by 1.5 lengths in 25.68, beating Run The Gauntlet. Last start finished 4th in a R/A FIN on March 12 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway behind Yuki beaten 7 lengths (26.11). Looks one of the chances.

Scored by 2.5 lengths last time (30.38) in a Class 4/5 over 525m at this track. Has four successes and four minors from 11 starts from box 7. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
