Cambridge Race 5 - GAVELHOUSE.COM MOBILE PACE

KINGS WATCH (4) enjoyed the return to this circuit when he finished third last time out. That took his record at this venue to three wins and a placing from five attempts. Same draw again and is capable of taking this out. BARBAROSSA (6) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his win at this circuit and distance last week. Gets the same draw again so could go right on with the job. CHANGE TACT (3) worked last time but draws better and was good when runner-up here last month so is worthy of another chance. MESSENGER BUOY (1) won here two back and gets the inside draw for the return so keep safe.
