Manukau Race 5

MORRIE MOSEN MEMORIAL STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

OPAWA JIMMY (5) was below best at his last start when 8th at this track following a win (18.72) there two back. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Better than the latest effort and with the extra distance deserves another chance. HUNTER JACK (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths (31.34) behind Alpine Jewel at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. OPAWA RANDY (4) latest effort finished 3rd in a Class 2/3 on September 4 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway behind Opawa Thunder beaten 5.5 lengths (26.44). With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. MEGA POWER (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. Odds will be appealing.

Working his way into winning form after his success on August 10 at this track over 527m. Last start was second over 527m in 31.34, behind Alpine Jewel. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Key chance again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 457m at Cambridge Raceway. With luck, can produce from the inside draw. Top 4

Was in commission but ran below his best last start when eighth (19.43) over 318m at this track. With even luck and a clean start he should be prominent at the business end.
