Verdict

AMERICAN ME (7) was successful last time out by 4.5 metres in a far better performance at this track over 1 ?m. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. FINAL CHANGE (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fifth over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. LITTLE SPIKE (8) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track six weeks ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. BETA PREPARE (4) disappointed last time when sixth over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway. Can do a lot better so is worth considering.
