Manukau Race 5

MPS FENCING STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,000

OH MY VENUS (4) is progressing well claiming her 3rd career win latest, scoring by 2.75 lengths (21.62) at Cambridge Raceway. Expected to be right there at the finish again. THRILLING MUSE (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (26.38) last time in a R/A at Cambridge Raceway. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from six attempts. Worth another chance. BOOM LATERAL (7) goes very well at the course with two wins and a placing from six starts. Scored by 4.5 lengths last time (30.72) in a Class 1 over 527m at this track. Can feature in the finish. SAKURA (3) looks a solid each-way chance.

Has been racing extremely well with three wins in succession. Added to the tally last start when she won by 2.75 lengths at Cambridge Raceway (21.62) beating Dynamic Kiwi in a Class 1 on April 10. In hot form and can take this out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 527m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Was out of placings last time (26.38) at Cambridge Raceway in a R/A, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
