CAMBRIDGE EQUINE HOSPITAL 1300m Track: AW True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with the speedy Off The Scales leading the way. HONEYDAZE (4) has improved a lot in her last 3 starts, and was only beaten by a head here 12 days ago over 1550m. Dropping back to 1300m will be no problem, and in a similar setup, she can go one better. IN THE VINEYARD (11) just missed out on breaking through for an overdue maiden win when finishing runner-up by a nose here on the same day as the top pick. If she can settle one pair closer this time, then she can get the job done this time. COMPULSORY (1) has been trying to win a race for longer than most in this, and he resumed as a warm favourite here 6 weeks and finishing a fair third over 970m. He is much better placed over 1300m, and he has each-way claims again, so follow your money. BRAMITO (9) is fresh up from the pole position, and a recent trial win will ensure that he receives plenty of attention in the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: In an open field we like Honeydaze on top.
