Manukau Race 7

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,727

HANZO RIVER (5) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (18.64) at this track in a Class 1 FIN over 318m. Great chance to get the job done again. EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) missed the frame latest (19.00) when fourth over 318m at this track in a Class 3. Can hit the frame with the right run. MY CRUSADER (7) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (19.17) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Overdue and gets his chance. SWEET (8) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Missed the frame latest (31.39) when fifth over 527m at this track in a Class 2/3. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 16 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 318m at this track. Others hold stronger claims.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (21.82) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.
