OPAWA SANDY (4) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and four placings from 16 starts. Missed the frame latest (26.10) when fifth over 457m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4/5. Can hit the frame with the right run. PORTLAND JESSIE (8) has a strong record here with three wins and four placings from nine starts. Missed the frame latest (30.99) when fifth over 527m at this track in a Class 5. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
