CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY   17 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

HOLMES & CO FAMILY SILK RD NORTHERN MARES HT2 MOB TROT 1700m

Track: GOOD      

VERY MAJESTIC (5) ran second last start at this track over 2200m, beaten 3.5 metres. Must raise the bar but a win is on the cards. LOTERIA (1) finished sixth last start, beaten 35 metres at Alexandra Park over 2200m. Talented and has plenty of upside. Expect her to be prominent from the favourable draw. THE MOONSTONE (9) got it wrong fresh but is proven second up so is improvement is likely and hasn't missed a place in four tries at this distance, winning twice. Last-winner winner NIAMH (4) should be at her peak third-up so could go on with it.

Lacklustre performance first-up beaten 35 m sixth behind Manchester's Moment at Alexandra Park over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 11. Will come on from that run and is a strong winning hope on best form.
