Cambridge Race 3 - N40 RACING DOROTHY CUTTS LADIES INVITATIONAL MOBILE PACE

IRON BRIGADE (10) did a good job to finish second in a better race last start at this circuit and distance. That continued his good form, highlighted by a win at Alexandra Park three starts ago. Good enough to put himself back into the winners' stall. SPIRIT OF WAIHEKE (4) has been racing very well with two wins and a second from the past three outings. Came from a similar draw and registered a good win last start at this venue and distance. Must rate highly. AKATEA (11) is also on the list of contenders after coming from this row to place at Alexandra Park last start while COLIN MCBRIDE (8) is worth some thought off some solid recent efforts at Alexandra Park.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Roy Kent at Alexandra Park over 1700m in a 3yo+ on March 7 at $9.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind The Surfer at this track over 2200m on March 28 at $17.50. Top chance.
