Our three Summer Cup contenders

Cambridge - 15 December 2022

Race 4 @ 6.54 pm - #10 Pacing Hope

She was devoid of luck at Manawatu and unfortunately faces a second row draw tomorrow.  With a drag into the race, she can certainly feature in the top three.

Race 6 @ 7.45 pm - #2 Crusader & #10 Glenthorne

We start with Crusader who has had two quiet workouts to prepare for this.  His handy draw will assist and while he'll improve with the outing, I do expect him to finish right amongst it.

Glenthorne had a hard run first start back so we'll be looking for a softer trip this time.  I'd like to think he'll follow through from the second line and be doing his best work late.

Alexandra Park - 16 December 2022

Race 4 @ 7.46 pm - #7 New York Minute

It's nice to see him get back into a race where he should be competitive.  The mobile will also help as he's been getting it wrong from a stand.  He's one to cover in trifecta/first four combinations.

Race 7 @ 9.08 pm - #2 Rough And Ready, #4 Taipo & #6 Kango

Rough And Ready stuck on gamely last start and off the front tape he should land a tidy spot.  While it'll be a tough ask, one thing is for sure he'll give you his best shot.

It was hard to get a line on Taipo's last start effort as nothing made ground in the run home.  Generally he's very quick from a stand so let's hope this is the case on Friday.  I'm hoping he can show his true form.

I'm somewhat surprised at Kango's odds given he's raced against the best.  His work over the last ten days has been top notch.  I think he'll run a cracking race.
