Cambridge Race 7 - Cambridge Pacers Flying Stakes Mobile Pace

DON'T STOP DREAMING (5) Finished 7th last run at Alexandra Park. Has the talent to rebound quickly but down in trip. Change in driver with Mark Purdon aboard. Can have an impact. REPUBLICAN PARTY (6) Nice effort when winning by a long neck last start at Alexandra Park but back in trip. Undefeated last 2 runs. Expect to go close. LITTLE SPIKE (1) Finished on top by 3.9m last run around here and have to respect the form at this trip. On a winning streak the last 2 starts and drawn beautifully. Rates well in this race. KANGO (3) Close up last time at Alexandra Park and returns to a longer distance. Place makes best appeal.
