Manukau Race 3

MPS FENCING STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $3,727

OPAWA RAISIN (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (31.48) at this track behind Portland Magnum in a Class 1. Has the pace to be prominent. Can find winning form. GO CONCORD (6) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when seventh (26.65), beaten 9 lengths. Faces a slightly easier field today and is worth another chance. OMATICAYA (3) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (31.58) at this track in a Class 1. Expected to bounce back to best. OPAWA FREYA (7) could muster enough early speed to cross and lead them along way. Is not to be discarded.

Steps up to 527m for the first time. Last appeared when second over 375m at Cambridge Raceway three days ago. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts.

Hit the frame latest (31.48) when second at this track in a Class 1. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from nine starts. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on December 4 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway behind Opawa Ingrid beaten 9 lengths (26.65) in a Class 1/2. Placed two back at this track. Yet to win but has been in the money three times from six starts off this box. Expected to go close.
