Manukau Race 7

Mt Wellington Tab Series Heat 2 Pbd

Prize Money: $3,363

BIT OF BACARDI (7) Towards the rear last start around here. Expecting improvement and facing a rise in trip. Won't be far away during the run. Form has been improving over recent runs. Could prove hard to beat. LITTLE POTENTIAL (6) Hit the line well when 2nd last start at Addington in 30.5s over 525m. Winning chance in this line up. SHADOWED (5) Faded to finish 8th last time at this track. Can make a comeback and racing over more ground. Has scope so do not ignore. GOTCHA TIPSY (2) Disappointing run when 6th last start at this venue but returns to a rise in trip. Always seems to find the line well. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Average at best when 6th last start at the track but back over extra ground. Shows good closing speed. Watch for a sign in the market.

Advanced late into 4th last time at Cambridge but will be down in distance. Others make far more appeal.

Odds of $51.00 and weakened to finish 8th last start at Cambridge and dropping back to a shorter trip. Not in this.

Lost ground in the run home when 8th last time at the track. Can make a comeback and going over extra ground. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

Attacked the line when 2nd last start at Addington in 30.5s over 525m. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Unsighted last start here. Expecting improvement and racing over extra ground. Has plenty of early speed. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Failed to threaten last time at this venue but coming back up in distance. Will try to take advantage of the box. Showing improvement in recent outings. Prefer to watch.
