GOING:

HIRE A VENUE AT CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY HANDICAP TROT 2700m

Track: GOOD      

ROMEO FOXTROT (9) had to work last start so prepared to forgive that result. Nice effort when runner-up from a similar handicap two back at this venue. Has winning claims. B D CASTLETON (5) scored for the second time in his last four starts when recording a commanding win last start at Ruakaka. Has upside and could take another step forward. Manners let VORONOV (2) down last start but he had looked close to a win when runner-up in his previous two outings, one of them here. Major player if he gets it right. HILL BILLIE BUNDY (3) hasn't featured in two starts off a spell but did end the last campaign with a win at Alexandra Park so is capable when right. Fitter and is proven here so may improve.
