THE HOMEKILL GUYS LTD SPRINT FEATURE PBD

Stake: $4,400

OPAWA MARSH (6) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.87) at Manawatu but prior to that had three placings in a row. Form at the trip excellent including 15 wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Rates on top in this line up. HADWIN BALE (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 18 times for nine wins and three minors. Comes off a (16.71) win last time, scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Class 5 over 295m at this track. Can feature with the right run. MITCHAM JESSE (5) rocketed around 295m in 16.68 when winning a Class 5 at this track last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. OPAWA WEATHERLEY (4) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at Manawatu but the start prior was an eye-catching winner scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Class 4 at Manawatu and clocking a slick 21.54 over the 375m trip. Harder here and place looks best.

Good effort to win last start by 4.5 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy (16.68), beating Opawa Barns. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
