CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY 2400m Track: SOFT 7 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Gate Crashers, My Maebelline Girl and Ortem Legacy taking up forward positions. CHARLBURY (2) was only beaten by a neck here 8 days ago, and will have no fitness concerns leading into this race. She strikes another small field, and she should go close to taking this out. GIPPSY GOD (1) ran on too late after getting a long way back at Ellerslie last time out a week ago. The extra 300m is the key, and he can bounce straight back into the money here. PERFECTMANZ (3) set the pace and weakened in the run home here last time out, finishing fourth as the favourite. He is better when ridden with some cover, and he is worth another chance. Follow your money. ORTEM LEGACY (4) will be peaking third up, and she is capable of a top 3 finish in this field, so don't risk her. MY MAEBELLINE GIRL (6) has been holding her form well, and she will again be hard to peg back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charlbury to win.
