Manukau Race 4

HIFI ALLEGRO SPRINT HEAT 1 PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

QUINTESSENTIAL (5) is a sprinter who thrives over these shorter races. Was in the money last time (21.52) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4/5. Has never been out of the money in 11 starts this course and distance. Leading chance again. HADWIN BALE (7) rocketed around the Addington 295m in 16.78 for a 2.75 lengths success last time. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. KING HARVEST (2) is better than last start when sixth (17.92) in a Class 5 at Wanganui over 305m. Boasts five wins from 10 starts out of this box. Better than last start and can bounce back. PRIORITY (6) raced on the pace and got home last start. That form reads well.

Did a good job two starts back at Manawatu to win by one length in 21.26, beating Jane's Panama. Last start finished 6th in a Class 5 on May 23 over 305m at Wanganui behind Big Time Dixie beaten 3.5 lengths (17.92). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Hit the frame last time at Manawatu but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Class 4 at Ascot Park. Harder here and place looks best.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.74) in a Class 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from six starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Last start finished 2nd in a Class 4/5 on April 16 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Big Time London beaten 1.4 lengths (21.52). Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.
