Cambridge Race 1 - SKYLINE LOUNGE OPEN ALL RACE NIGHTS MBL PACE
BLACKJACK (10) finished third at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at his latest appearance over 2200m at Alexandra Park, beaten 20 metres when sent out as the warm favourite. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ARRIGO (4) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 18 metres into sixth at Alexandra Park over 2200m. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. OLYMPIC KO (8) races well here and is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at Alexandra Park six days ago. KING TIDE (7) is better than recent runs would suggest and is worth some thought despite his last-start tenth over 2200m at this track on August 21.
