CAMBRIDGE 30 Jul 2025
GOING:
|
TAB 970m Track: AW True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected with Just Faith, Fast Serve and Charmario heading the charge. SEAMSEW (3) found the front early here nearly 3 weeks ago and kept up a strong gallop all the way to hang on to a short-head victory. He might have to work harder to find the lead from a tougher gate this time, but now that he is back in form, he could take some pegging back again. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (4) did not have all favours here last start and was a fast finishing fourth on the Awapuni poly track before that. Craig Grylls picks up the ride, and if the gaps come at the right time, he can have the last say. ELECTRIC ZOU (5) did not do much in the hands of a 4kg claiming apprentice at Matamata just over 6 weeks ago. He has the advantage of the pole position, and a form reversal is on the cards. HASSTOBEFAST (1) has been racing consistently over this trip and helps her chances by putting herself on the pace early on. She is in a good space and has each-way claims again. CHARMARIO (6) resumes from a spell, and if ready, he could be too good for this field. Watch the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knowledge Is Power to have some luck and be hard to beat.
