Manukau Race 12

GIVE US A GO SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

RUNNING ON EMPTY (8) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 18.92 beating Stop Working. Wide draw suits ideally and shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. OPAWA RAISIN (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (21.58) at Manawatu behind Sunbird Striker in a Class 3. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. UNDONE (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (19.29) last time in a Class 3/4 H at this track. Should strip much fitter today and cannot be taken lightly. MADAM PHAEDRA (7) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (21.99) in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway last time out. One to include in all exotic bets.

At the last outing finished 6th on February 15 over 318m at this track behind Epic In Trouble beaten 5 lengths (19.29) in a Class 3/4 H. Looks a strong place chance.

Hit the frame latest (21.58) when third at Manawatu in a Class 3. Has two successes and eight minors from 15 starts from box 5. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 318m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 318m at this track in a handy 18.92, beating Stop Working. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Leading chance.
