WINDSOR PARK STUD CAMBRIDGE BREEDERS' STAKES 1200m Track: SOFT 7 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo assured with Drops Of God, Lucy In The Sky and Lubeck rolling to the front. AVANTAGGIA (17) has taken time to come to it, and she has been patiently handled. She showed a lot of grit to score by half a length at Otaki a fortnight ago, and she would not be here if her top trainers did not think she was up to this level. A wide gate may be OK if the track is heavy, and she can repeat. DROPS OF GOD (9) has been freshened up since her last start third in G3 company at Ellerslie in January. She cops a wide gate, but with Craig Grylls in the saddle, she is worthy of each-way consideration. TO CAP IT ALL (4) made progress this season, and has been close up in some hot fields. She looked sharp when winning a recent trial, and having Michael McNab in the saddle is a positive lead. Watch closely. PLATINUM PANTHEON (1) was too good for a decent field at Tauranga 6 weeks ago. A wide gate is no help, and without any recent trials, he could be a run short, but on ability, he can't be risked. FLEETING STAR (10) was game in defeat fresh here 8 days ago. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avantaggia each way.
