Manukau Race 7

OPAWA ISAAC STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $3,727

ALTRUISM (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.5 lengths away in second (19.21). With a clean beginning has winning claims. COCOON THE FOOD (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (31.59) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. OPAWA TOBY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Cambridge Raceway over 650m behind Carat Smuggler (39.29) in a Class 1. Was in the money the start prior. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. One of the main contenders now back to a middle distance. OPAWA KELSEY (8) is worth including from the wide draw. Odds should be appealing.

Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing third in 31.49 at this track. Draws the cherry this time. Not to be underestimated.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (19.21) at this track in a Class 1. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start she should be prominent at the business end.
