Cambridge Race 12 - Waikato Classic Heat 3

ZESTFUL (2) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from five tries. Placed last time (25.96) at Ascot Park in a Class 5 H, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. LOCKWOOD LOOP (8) looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (26.11) at Manawatu in a R/A. Has first look at box 8 this time. Hard to beat again. PORTLAND JESSIE (6) goes very well here starting 22 times for 12 wins and seven minors. Was out of placings last time (31.16) at Manukau in a Class 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. OPAWA BLAKE (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back to form.
