Prize Money: $2,314

ALDEBARAN (4) box seated before sticking on well to finish 3 lengths away in second (21.57) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 0 over 375m. Rates highly and will give a great sight. WAERENGA RITCHIE (3) bolted in last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in slick time (18.78) to take a Class 0 in a new PB this course and distance. Should be in this for a long way. HUNTER HONEY (6) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (21.78) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 2/3, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Can hit the frame with the right run. FAWN OVER YOU (8) has top-three aspirations after placing from this box last time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (21.85) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Has a low draw but looks tested this line up.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (19.06) over 318m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.
