Cambridge Race 8 - GROUP 2 WAIKATO PACERS FLYING MILE MOBILE PACE

DOO YOU WANT ME (1) Won narrowly last time at Alexandra Park and has drawn the rails. Has not missed this campaign with 4 wins from 4 starts but will be down in distance. Can get the job done. MERLIN (7) Ran well when 2nd last time at Alexandra Park but will be facing a significant drop in distance. In good order since coming back from a break. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. THE JANITOR (6) Made some ground late when 2nd last time at Menangle and proven runner at this distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Respect in this event. SOONER THE BETTOR (3) Was competitive when 2nd last start at Alexandra Park. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Include in chances.
