Manukau Race 2

MPS FENCING SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,182

OPAWA KELSEY (7) was unwanted in betting when starting from the same box but ran very well, finishing in the minors over 318m at this track in a Class 0 in 19.32. Key player on best form. GO CONCORD (5) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when second (31.00) at Addington over 525m. The form from his last run stacks up well. Winning chance. BIG TIME TEXAN (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (19.52) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to bounce back to best. ON STRIPE (8) is worth including from a suitable wide draw.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (20.00) over 318m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is in the mix.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 305m at Wanganui. Needs to find a bit more.

Ran a fair race on debut when jumped well and was on speed, fading to finish fifth (18.88) at Wanganui over 305m. Should be further improved. Other runners look much more appealing.

Yet to break through in 12 runs, the latest effort a second over 525m at Addington in 31.00. Looks the testing material.
