Cambridge Race 8 - GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND SPRINT PBD

WRIT LARGE (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from six tries. Placed last time (17.67) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. BAY FLYER (4) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only a neck from Panda Express in second (21.41) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in the finish again. OPAWA BLAKE (5) finished eighth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in his strong 25.58 win at this track over 457m. Expected to feature on his best figures. ALDEBARAN (7) won't mind the wide box draw and warrants respect following a recent placing.
