Manukau Race 1

WE LOVE OUR DOGS THEY LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

WONDERING WHY (4) is in strong form, jumping from this same box to score (19.11) by a head in a SPECA at this track last time and making it back to back wins. In form and looks the one to beat again. HUNTER HONEY (6) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a SPECA on April 4 over 318m at this track behind WONDERING WHY beaten 2 lengths (19.25). Hard to beat again. DYNAMIC KIWI (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (19.23) at this track. Form here sound including six wins. Has very good box speed. Expected to feature again. SWEET (8) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing. Include in all multiple bets.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (19.29) over 318m at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Has been consistent, placing at her last 4 starts. Latest effort finished 3rd over 318m at this track beaten 2 lengths (19.25) behind Wondering Why in a SPECA on April 4. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Right in this.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. The latest effort was a 5 length sixth over 318m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 318m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
