THE HOMEKILL GUYS LTD SPRINT FEATURE HEAT 2 PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

OPAWA MARSH (6) boasts a strong record this course with 15 wins and four minors from 22 tries. Was below his best last time at Manawatu (25.87), finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Looks suited and should go close. HADWIN BALE (7) comes here after rocketing around this track over 295m in 16.71, claiming a Class 5 by 4.5 lengths. Has the ability and can measure up again. MITCHAM JESSE (5) recorded a smart win over 295m at this track in a lightning 16.68 last start. In form and looks like a leading player again. OPAWA WEATHERLEY (4) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip. Include in all combinations.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 375m at Manawatu. That followed a win two back in 21.54 beating Big Time Proof over 375m at Manawatu. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 16.68 last start, beating Opawa Barns. Has run hot time here with a 16.68 PB at the distance. Must include.

Was out of placings last time (25.87) at Manawatu in a Invitations, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
