Te Akau Cambridge Midweek Preview
Date: 26 Jun 2024
Te Akau Racing has two horses entered on Wednesday 26 June at Cambridge.
Cambridge:
Weather: fine, track: poly track, rail: true. Showers forecast.
12:44 p.m. R2 1 Stonybreck (4 g Tavistock – Fair Isle) – Michael McNab; he travelled three wide with cover and ran on solidly for third in the Rating 75 1300 metres here on 12 June, and contests the $17,000 Rating 75 1550 metres. He has won four of eight starts on poly tracks, including three of five here, and rates a top three chance despite his outside draw (9). Fixed odds: $3.90 & $1.60.
3:42 p.m. R7 1 Malmaison (3 g Darci Brahma – Altai Rose) – Michael McNab; he did very well for a close second when resuming in the Maiden 1215 metres on 11 May at Rotorua, and was second again in the Maiden 1200 metres on 5 June at Matamata. Runner-up in four of five starts, he is ideally drawn (4) in the $17,000 Maiden 970 metres, and is a top three prospect if appreciative of the poly track surface at his first attempt. Fixed odds: $2.40 & $1.20.
