Manukau Race 11

MPS FENCING SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

HUNTER KAREN (5) missed the frame last time when sixth (22.26) at Cambridge Raceway but prior to that had two placings in a row. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Can bounce back. HUNTER LOU (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Waerenga Ritchie (18.69) in a Class 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can feature again. NOT ANOTHER (3) was strongly supported last start when a short-priced favourite and duly saluted, winning by a neck at this track in a handy 18.93. Draws to advantage and goes well at this distance. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Can make it back-to-back wins. OPAWA VANESSA (6) was in the money last time at this track (18.87) in a Class 4, finishing third. Has already won twice from this draw.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 318m at this track in a handy 18.93, beating You Pick One. Makes strong appeal.

Has been in the money at last three starts, the latest when second (18.65) at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has claims if at her best.

Was out of placings last time (22.26) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from 10 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Placed last time (18.87) at this track in a Class 4, finishing third and beaten one length. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including two wins. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Returns from a three-and-a-half months spell and hit the frame when last resuming, finishing second over 375m at Manawatu. Expect her to be prominent.

Hit the frame last time at Wanganui Straight but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by a long neck in a Class 3 at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
