Prize Money: $4,727

OPAWA SUGAR (4) had been in super honest form hitting the frame three times on end before finishing fifth (26.17) at Cambridge Raceway last time. Has a slight drop in class today and could grab that elusive win. OPAWA RANDY (3) turned in a moderate performance last time when eighth at Wanganui over 755m behind Chief Dribble (45.42) in a Class 2/3 FIN. Raced in a strong field over distance last start. Drops back to a middle distance today and should be roaring home late. ACES (7) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (26.33) last time in a Class 3/4 at Cambridge Raceway. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Has ability and can measure up. OPAWA WINE (6) has been doing the job nicely in lower class. Is capable of jumping and leading them for a long way.
