Cambridge Race 7

19TH NOV TRADIES NIGHT @ CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY MBL PACE

Prize Money: -

LAS VEGAS (6) put the writing on the wall when he finished third last start at Alexandra Park. Lightly-raced gelding who looks ready to put it all together now and he finds a nice race so will take plenty of beating. LILITH (2) came from a much wider barrier for a midfield finish when resuming at Alexandra Park. Fitter and draws better so can progress. SOUNDSHELL (3) could be close to a win after placing in two of three starts off a spell, the latest at this venue. Draws a couple of spots wider but should be at his peak for this. The ace draw could spark improvement from THE MIKI TAKER (1).
