Cambridge Race 5 - ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

OPAWA HIPKIN (5) placed last time (21.77) at this track in a Class 2, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Has already won out of this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. ACES (3) led all the way last time out to score by 3.5 lengths (21.35) at this track in a Class 1 over 375m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. THRILLING NASH (7) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 4.5 lengths away in fifth (21.88). Was in the money the start prior. In the mix. WAITERIMU GEM (8) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 4 lengths away in second (18.85). Overdue and gets her chance.
