Cambridge Race 1<\/div>\n
8 Mandala\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Cops a wide barrier draw to work from but Mandala (8) has been very good in the amateur grade over the past 12 months and with any luck and a nice drag into it then look for a strong finishing burst to get over the top of them all.

\n

It\u2019s a little hit or miss, but when Patricia Ruby catches it right from the stand she can be quite devastating. Easily good enough to trot onto the speed here from the 20m handicap and just bury them into submission. Risky though.

\n

On debut here today from the Arna Donnelly barn, Tahi (2) brings some strong trial form to the race including a recent hit out where he was second behind the talented Buddy Good. He\u2019d be $1.10 in this field so that should stack up pretty well, especially from the good draw.

\n

A brave effort from Rushkinoff (9) last time out and he looks set to make a pretty strong fist of racing in the north on what we\u2019ve seen so far. Inside of the second row draw might work out perfectly and with a sweet trip can sneak up the lane late and go close.

After a string of very good performances up the road in Auckland, Ragnar Lothbrok (1) looks a prime chance here today with the aid of the inside draw. A lot easier than things have been recently and with a sweet trip can have the final say.
