Cambridge Race 12 - MAX MATHEWS MEMORIAL STAKES

TURTLE WATCH (1) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (26.23) but scored five back at Manukau (30.49). Has a good record here at this journey. Has the ability to give this a shake. SCHMEICHEL (2) tackled far tougher grade latest but ran very well to hit the frame when 3rd (26.10) at this track in SPECA H. Was a winner the start prior in easier at Manukau. Has a good record here including four wins. Bold showing expected. ZESTFUL (8) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip and is worth considering.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Manukau over 527m. Last start finished 3rd in a SPECA H on March 6 over 457m at this track behind Paw Bradley beaten 10 lengths (26.10). Broke a two-start winning streak with the minor placing last time. Can bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but will need to find best.
