Prize Money: $5,364

GO COOPER (7) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and three placings from 16 starts. Placed last time (31.10) at Manukau in a Class 3, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. OPAWA INGRID (6) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (26.71), beaten 13 lengths. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Must be included in calculations. SCHMEICHEL (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (31.34) last time in a Class 5 H at Manukau. Has a good record here including six wins. Drops in class today and shapes as one to consider. BAY FLYER (5) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone. Another who down grades for this race.
