HIFI ALLEGRO SPRINT FEATURE HEAT 2 PBD

Prize Money: $5,364

WU TANG (3) shapes nicely here coming off a flying 18.47 win at this track over 318m. Doesn't usually jump the fastest but last start picked the start and put them away. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. PAW MAVEN (2) was out of placings last time (17.33) at Addington in a Class 5, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Has been racing the top grade down south. Suited here and expected to run well. OPAWA JIMMY (5) ran good time (21.20) when placing two back at Cambridge Raceway but missed the frame latest in a Class 5 at Cambridge Raceway. Expected to do much better this time. PORTLAND MAGIC (7) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out. Odds will be lucrative.

Missed the frame latest (17.33) when sixth over 295m at Addington in a Class 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from eight starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Effortless winner showing plenty of speed to score by 6 lengths in a Class 5 last start at this track, recording a superb 18.47 over the 318m journey. Has ability and is a key chance.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a solid 21.20 over 375m finishing second at Cambridge Raceway. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Cambridge Raceway, the latest when beaten 11 lengths behind Opawa Blake over 457m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
