The South Auckland horseman is based at Riccarton with six gallopers for part of the winter as Cameron chases the jumps races around the mainland.
He brings three jumpers and a flat horse to Wingatui tomorrow, and he is quite enthusiastic about the chances of Dane Ruler in the $12,000 Otago Hunt Steeplechase.
The 8yr-old comes into tomorrow's 3200m battle off the back of a close second behind Lagerfeld at Riccarton on May 24 and the addition of side winkers could get him over the line.
''He's just thriving - no Lagerfeld there on Sunday, so hopefully he'll go really close,'' Cameron said.
''He's just been coming to the last couple of fences, and not quite getting them right, so I thought the side winkers might make him concentrate.
''On the flat and over hurdles, he raced in blinkers - he wouldn't get out of half-pace on the flat without blinkers so, hopefully, the side winkers will make a difference.''
Cameron also has Quartze in the steeplechase. The 12yr-old son of Soviet Star will be looking for a deep track, having won seven races on a heavy track, and a renewed association with Wingatui jockey Stewart Moir could help too.
''He's just really honest and plugs away. Stewie rode him really well at Riccarton [three starts back], so he's back on board - the last couple of jockeys he hasn't gone as well for.''
Cameron hopes Air Cadet will bounce back from a fading run at Riccarton, where he dropped to fifth behind Keep It Tight, when he takes on the Riccarton winner and others in the Otago Hurdle.
''He was a bit disappointing - I don't know whether the track was too heavy, but he's a bit in and out,'' he said.
While Air Cadet drops back to 2700m for tomorrow's hurdle, Cameron was surprised the 7yr-old could not see out the trip.
''He has been placed over two miles last year, so I thought the extra ground might have helped.''
Lochwood (race 2) is Cameron's sole flat runner tomorrow when he takes on a small field in a 1600m maiden for amateur riders.
''The track will suit him more. He galloped at Riccarton the other day in the wet and [jockey] Terry Moseley said he just loved it.''
