Cambridge Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
7 Rebel Castleton <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

17 starts on the board now for Rebel Castleton (7) and he <\/span>won\u2019t<\/span> get a better opportunity than this to break through for a maiden win. Has been competitive in behind much better fields this campaign and with good manners should be up on the speed and really pressing here. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n
Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A few things went wrong on debut here for Alert Mac D (2) but the trial form prior to that run had been encouraging enough. Not a strong field of maidens here and from the good draw with some experience under the belt you can expect a much better effort. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Rivergirl Bella <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

The string of placings from the past four starts tells the story of Rivergirl Bella (1) here. Doing <\/span>pretty much everything<\/span> but win however tonight might change that. Ace draw in <\/span>a very small<\/span>, even field and if able to hold up and race close to the speed, should be delivering. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Cambridge Harness Race 4<\/div>\n
8 Niamh <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

20 metre <\/span>handicap<\/span> to overcome, but Niamh (8) has been excellent here at Cambridge over the past few months and <\/span>largely in<\/span> better fields than this. A good beginning will be key, but good enough to do some work midrace and get onto the speed if she needs too. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Night Moves <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Escaping some <\/span>very strong<\/span> racing at Auckland of late, Night Moves (1) looks remarkably well placed here. Add to that the one draw and <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> even tougher to see how her rivals are going to get the better of her. Should buzz to the lead and not look back. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
