Cambridge Race 7

Coprice Working Dog Beef Sprint Pbd

Prize Money: $2,314

HELENA JET (7) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at Manukau in a handy 18.83 beating Portland Indie. Can measure up again. PORTLAND BEN (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (18.94) at Manukau behind Hunter Pearl in a Class 1. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. OPAWA GORDON (4) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when third in a Class 1 at this track (21.90). Key chance on best form. KOOKABURRA BOB (6) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 318m at Manukau. Better off looking to others.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fourth over 527m at Manukau, beaten 10 lengths. Prepared to overlook.

In the money last time at this track (21.90) in a Class 1, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Showed good improvement when second behind Hunter Pearl at Manukau last start over 318m (18.94). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
