Manukau Race 3

SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SPRINT SERIES HT 1 PBD

Prize Money: $2,273

EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (19.01) at this track in Class 0 over 318m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. WAITERIMU GEM (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (19.08) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Shapes as one to consider. JEAN GENIE (6) had been racing well prior to her last start sixth at this track following a SPECA win three back with a third placing. Can find the frame this time. SPEEDY PETE (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 318m at this track. Not keen this time.

Finished third last start (19.27) at big odds over 318m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looking to others.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when sixth (19.25) at this track. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Missed the frame latest (19.08) when fourth over 318m at this track in a Class 2. Has three successes and six minors from 13 starts from box 8. Makes strong appeal.
