Cambridge Harness Race 1<\/div>\n
6 No Intentions <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A cracking introduction to the racing game by No Intentions (6) last time out when running second. Looks a <\/span>pretty quick<\/span> winner in the grade based <\/span>off of<\/span> that. No certainty to do everything right just yet though so needs a little caution tonight. Manners the key. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Samurai<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

First starter from the Arna Donnelly stable, Samurai (1) has looked above average in his public runs ahead of tonight\u2019s debut. <\/span>Comes up with<\/span> a sweet draw to work from and if able to hold up early and <\/span>pick and choose<\/span> the right battle should be there at the finish. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

1 Barsukov <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

In a great vein of form <\/span>at the moment<\/span> is Barsukov (1) and he lands in this race beautifully given the strength of some of his recent assignments at Auckland. Should punch out from the draw and stay on the speed and if he gets a chance at the top of the <\/span>straight<\/span> he\u2019ll<\/span> take it. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Nice opportunity here for Waltzing <\/span>With<\/span> Miki (7) to <\/span>take the bull by the horns<\/span> and make this race his own. Loves getting up on the speed and putting the pressure on and <\/span>shouldn\u2019t<\/span> have too many problems getting there today. Looks a great bet. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Nothing wrong in either of the two starts to the races so far for Alta Toni (3) after backing up a strong maiden win with an unlucky effort for third here last week. Had to wait for the gap and when it came the race was done. Might look to control this and can hold on at a nice each way price. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\n

Things went a little pear-shaped first up for St John Eight (4) up at Auckland when he was looking to get into the race. Happy to forgive that and think he sets up <\/span>pretty nicely<\/span> here. Confident drive early should have him on the speed and hard to hold out. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
