OPAWA SELENA (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Cambridge Raceway following on from a second place finish (21.81) there the start prior. Will enjoy a return to this venue and is worth another chance. OPAWA KELSEY (8) turned in a moderate effort last time when seventh at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Hillbilly Heist (22.01) in a SPECA. Shapes as one to consider. COCOON THE FOOD (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (22.25) in a Class 1/2 at Cambridge Raceway. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Deserves plenty of respect. ALPINE JEWEL (7) does drop back in class and can find the frame without surprising.
