Manukau Race 4

ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE SERIES HEAT 2 PBD

Prize Money: $2,636

INEPTITUDE (5) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a neck second (19.15) behind DARK ALI at this track. Only went down by a nose last start and can find winning form. HUNTER HONEY (6) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (19.45) in a Class 1 over 318m at this track. Can find the frame this time. LION BE GOOD (4) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (19.47) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Cambridge Raceway. Key player on best and worth another try. SIDE EYE SALLY (2) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time. Odds should be lucrative.

Was out of placings last time (19.23) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fourth and beaten 1.4 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and 10 places from 22 starts. Must keep safe.

Backs up after winning by a neck at this track (19.13) beating Ineptitude in a Class 1 on September 1 six days ago. Rough winner last start but will find it hard to repeat.
