Manukau Race 8

DUKE OF EDINBURGH SILVER COLLAR HEAT 2

Prize Money: $7,000

OPAWA SUGAR (3) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same box when second in a Class 4/5 at this track (30.94) and making it three straight placings. Will relish the extra distance and will be tough to beat on best. OPAWA SHIRLEY (8) missed the frame last time when fourth (44.99) at Wanganui but prior to that had three placings in a row. The form out of last run is most impressive. Predicted to show up early and cannot be underestimated. OPAWA TOBY (7) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 41 from 71 starts. Finished second (31.73) at this track last time making it two minors on end. Has a good record here including three wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to feature again. ADOBE VIDEL (5) will have admirers after placing last time out. Recently had a solo trial (40.53) at Addington over 681m.

Finished third last time (21.78) over 375m at Manawatu. Drawn awkwardly. In the money last time but has the job ahead.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (43.70) over 732m at Addington. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at Addington, the latest when beaten 15 lengths behind Chief Dribble over 732m. Others have better credentials.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (31.73) over 527m at this track. Jumps from the outside. Danger with even luck.

Missed the frame latest (44.99) when fourth over 755m at Wanganui in a Class 2/3 FIN. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Hard to beat with even luck.
