Cambridge Race 1 - XMAS AT THE RACEWAY TICKETS ON SALE NOW HANDICAP TROT
Manners let WHATS UP THE HILL (3) down when he resumed last week but he will be improved by the hitout and has shown talent in past preparations. Still learning but looks good enough to win if he gets it right. PLAY FAST AND LOOSE (4) had been racing consistently with a string of top-four finishes before breaking through with a win at this circuit and distance last week. Starts from a few spots wider but could go on with it now that the penny has dropped. FORGIVENESS (7) resumed with a respectable third here last time. Tougher handicap but should strip fitter. HIGHVIEW ROCKN ROLL (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently a third at this venue.
