Cambridge (G) Race 11 - Waikato Classic Final (G2)

ZESTFUL (8) scored (25.61) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Will go close again if runs up to latest. MORE MAGIC (1) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at his last four runs. Last time finished 2nd over 457m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (25.70) behind OUR ERIN in a R/A H on January 2. Won at his only start from this draw. Expected to feature. OPAWA BLAKE (3) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 457m at this track, taking a Class 2/3 in a convincing 25.52. Has the ability and looks a key chance. TRUE ABILITY (2) won with authority last start. Sure to run well again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Wanganui over 520m in 29.92. Followed that up with a minor placing over 457m at this track at R/A H a week ago. This looks too tough.
