Manukau Race 4

OUR DOGS LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,900

OPAWA RAISIN (6) turned in a better effort at Cambridge Raceway last start, finishing third behind CARTOON (21.89) in a Class 1. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Deserves serious consideration. CARTOON (4) hit the ground running off an inside draw last start and was never headed (21.66) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1 over 375m. Capable of going well again. SWEET (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (19.15) last time in a Class 1 H at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. IDOL HIT (5) can sneak into the finish and is worth including in exotic bets.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 318m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (19.21) beating Highs And Lows in a Class 0 on April 13. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
