2 Sweet Bonanza
Easy debut win at Cambridge & gets to run out nominations in maiden company against two of his brothers.
Selections: 2-5-3
7 Cliff Top Manny
Followed an encouraging third down the straight with an even better second at Hatrick on Friday. 2 Texas Snakebite ran into a distant third on debut after being crowded early. First leg quaddie winner should come from this pair.
Selections: 7-2-4-6
4 Big Time Lopez
Was leading a c1/2 field over 520m on Friday before it was declared a no race. Picked up a maiden win on this track last week. Steadily improving like a few in her litter. 1 Sister Shadow stumbled at the start here seven days back. Can lead for a long way. Each way play.
Selections: 4-1-6-5
6 Big Time Talea
Ran faster than the open class chasers when winning a c1 down the straight & has saluted at Hatrick since. 7 Big Time Martin downgrades after scrambling at the start & subsequently finishing a close fifth last week.
Selections: 6-7-1-4
8 Loveable Rogue
Looked to be an improver when runner-up after a month away from the track behind 1 Fool Me Once who is a leading contender again.
Selections: 8-1-6-4
5 Green Gold
Easy win in this class here, hence she is super short in the market to repeat.
Selections: 5-2-3-6
5 Bora Bora
Distant second in the fastest race of the day here & then lost out to the same dog at Hatrick. 6 Kookaburra Bob stormed into third behind a handy hound. Doesn't win often but this is his best surface. 2 Big Time Potter might be needed on the quaddie ticket but it's hard to be confident with her.
Selections: 5-6-2-7
3 Churn It Up
Won the corresponding race a week back & meets a similar field. 2 Chip & 7 Zero Chill are the newcomers & look the biggest threats.
Selections: 3-2-7-6
6 Star Boy Express
Wasn't quite as sharp as he can be last week when coming off the back of two 457m runs at Manawatu. Staying with. 5 You Sassy Minx performed well in her first race in this grade.
Selections: 6-5-2-3
7 Run Away Blue
Doesn't win as often as she should but went close last week & she beat all of these rivals except 4 Opawa Keith who can measure up on time.
Selections: 7-4-6-5
Best: Bora Bora
Next: Big Time Tale
Value: Cliff Top Manny
