Cambridge Harness | Friday 3 January

Matt Markham’s best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Friday January 3. 

Cambridge Race 1
3 Ivanka
Race time: 

Two strong seconds behind two smart types in her last two starts should have talented trotter Ivanka ready to strike here tonight. Not a strong field, so as long as the manners continue should land on the speed and prove hard to stop.
Selections: 3-4-8-1-7

Cambridge Race 2
2 Sunset Strip
Tip of The Day
Race time: 

A strong introduction to racing in which two minor placings and unfolded looks set to continue here for Sunset Strip. Third behind two talented types in Debbie Lincoln and Cheer The Captain looks excellent form for a race like this, especially from a good barrier draw.
Selections: 2-1-4-9-6

Cambridge Race 3
8 Joes Rock
Each Way
Race time: 

An emphatic win three starts back has been followed by two rather luckless runs by Joes Rock. Both have been in much stronger races than what is met here tonight too. High speed horse who is capable of reeling off quick sectionals and winning this at odds.
Selections: 8-4-7-5-6

Cambridge Race 4
7 Bettor Reaction
Race time: 

The arrival in the North Island has marked a noted return to form for Bettor Reaction. A dazzling first up win at Alexandra Park was backed up by an equally as good second placing last time out. On top of the game and with confidence levels high should be hard to stop here.
Selections: 7-4-1-9-10

Cambridge Race 5
6 Lovemeagain 
Race time: 

A handy resuming run for fifth behind Lord Popinjay should have Lovemeagain step out tonight ready to rock and roll here tonight. Has taken on much stronger fields in the career to this point and with natural improvement can make a serious play here.
Selections: 6-3-7-4-1

Cambridge Race 6
6 Matai Phil
Race time: 

There hasn’t been a lot of luck lately for Matai Phil but his performances have been great in much better fields than this. Just needs to find the back of the right one early and if able to be held up for the one crack at them, will take all sorts of stopping.
Selections: 6-7-8-3-1

Cambridge Race 7
6 Dawson
Race time: 

The last two runs for Dawson have been in super strong company and drops back in grade here tonight. In behind Fernetti last time and then Sooner The Bettor the time before that so should enjoy the relief. Small field helps and right in play here.
Selections: 6-2-4-5-7

Cambridge Race 8
1 Patrick Mahomes
Race time: 

Consistency is key when it comes to the chances of Patrick Mahomes. Trots out and gets into handy positions and from there is always a chance. This isn’t a deep field, so gets a chance to turn minor placings into a victory tonight if things unfold nicely.
Selections: 1-4-8-5-2

Cambridge Race 9
2 Tennesseeeghostpepper
Race time: 

Jeremy Young trained debutant, Tennesseeghostpepper comes to the races for the first time with some strong workout and trial form on the board. Recent runs have been behind Cheer The Captain and Minjee, both who have won recently. Small field to deal with and hard to stop.
Selections: 2-6-3-5-4
