Manukau Race 2

AUCKLAND OAKS PBD

Prize Money: $7,273

OPAWA PHILIPA (4) was a strong winner (21.34) from box 2 last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths at Cambridge Raceway. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Great chance to get the job done again. SO STRICT (6) hit the ground running from this same draw last time and led all the way to score (38.57) in a Class 1 over 660m at Manawatu. Harder here but expected to measure up. BIG TIME FAVOUR (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (30.85) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Wanganui. Can hit the frame this time. BIG TIME ZIP (8) is worth a look despite no experience at this circuit.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (30.59) over 520m at Wanganui. Aided by a low draw and is in the mix.

Last start finished sixth over 375m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 11 lengths (22.11) behind Opawa Bait in a Class 1 on May 29. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Improved sharply when second behind Big Time Toby at Wanganui last start over 520m (30.28). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
