Manukau Race 1

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

DYNAMIC KIWI (4) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a SPECA winner (19.01) three back at this track. Has very good box manners. Has the ability and can find winning form this time. WONDERING WHY (2) recorded her best time this course and distance latest, finishing a one length second behind SWEET in 18.91. Not the quickest into stride but runs home powerfully in this company. Looks a leading chance again. SWEET (8) crossed over from out wide but caught the leaders turning before drawing clear to score (18.84) at this track in a SPECA over 318m. Beat a very similar field last start and sure to be thereabouts. HELENA JET (7) cannot be left out after placing last start. Gets an ideal draw to feature again.

Hit the frame latest (18.91) when second at this track in a SPECA. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed six times. Right in this.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (19.28) over 318m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Was out of placings last time (19.19) at this track in a SPECA, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minors. Looks a key chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 318m in 19.25. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 318m at this track at SPECA level. Other runners look much more appealing.
