Cambridge Race 7 - DRAX PROJECT AT CR FOR NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS MOBILE PACE
SEA OF LOVE (2) finished fourth in a stronger last start having recorded a win and two seconds from the previous three outings, all at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Top chance. I CAN TOO (6) produced a decent effort to come from the back row for fourth at his latest appearance at Taupo. Finds a nice race and can make an impact. ENZO (3) has been let down by manners of late so is risky but draws well and showed his ability with an Alexandra Park win four back. COMMANDER LINCOLN (1) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up from the back row at Taupo and is aided by the ace draw.
