Cambridge Race 4 - DUNSTAN HORSEFEEDS HCP TROT
PATRICK MAHOMES (7) Finished 4th last run at this venue. Expecting improvement here but down in distance. Well placed and has solid claims. THE MERC (6) Finished 4th last start around here. Capable of bouncing back. Genuine winning chance. REGAL GIRL (8) Moderate showing when 8th last run here and coming back in distance. Worth a ticket. HAYLEY MHOR (5) Subpar when 6th last start at this track. Could give some each way value.
