Cambridge Race 4 - OUR DOGS LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

BIG TIME CIRCUS (3) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last five runs. Last start finished 2nd on April 8 over 375m at Manawatu behind Cephalopod beaten 4.5 lengths (21.62) in a Class 1/2. Likely to be in the finish again. BLACK LION (5) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Chef's Mate (21.61) in a Class 2. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature. OPAWA RYAN (8) hit the ground running from out wide and on speed early but faded and swamped late when 6th at this track in Class 3 company. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Should be in this for a long way. Something for the Multiples: HILLBILLY HEIST (2)
