Cambridge Race 7 - THE CLUBHOUSE SPORTS BAR HANDICAP TROT
ALDEBARAN WHAT (4) was well fancied last start at Alexandra Park but manners let him down. Had kicked off his campaign with a second at Taupo prior. Race fit third-up and has the ability to take care of this field if he gets it right. LUCA (5) steps out for a new yard and brings some decent form including a win two back at Ashburton. Can measure up in this line-up. B D CASTLETON (1) was let down by manners last time but has claims off the second at Alexandra Park two back. BROTHER JOHNSON (8) should find this easier than recent attempts so looking for a better result.

Has the ability to make Cambridge debut a winning one. Manners will be key.
