ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

OPAWA TREVOR (2) showed good early burn and was there until turning, but was swamped late to finish 6th at this track in Class 4 company. Form here at the trip is sound, including four wins. Tough to beat if on-song. CUT AND PASTE (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (21.72) in a Class 4 at this track. Likely to be thereabouts. BLACK LION (7) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing third (21.57) at this track in a Class 4 over 375m. Bold showing expected. SUPPOSE (5) form at this distance reads well. Include in all combinations.

Missed the frame latest (21.78) when sixth over 375m at this track in a Class 4. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and seven places from 13 starts. Makes appeal on best.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Well placed here and expected to bounce back.
