Manukau Race 7

PUMP & ENGINEERING SERVICES LTD STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,100

OPAWA RANDY (1) is in the money every start this course and distance. Is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 1 on July 24 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Honcho beaten 6 lengths (22.22). Suited here and can find winning form. COCOON THE FOOD (7) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 527m behind Opawa Isaac (31.61) in a Class 1. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. OPAWA TOBY (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Cambridge Raceway over 457m behind Brighton Wave (26.84) in a Class 1/2. Placed at his previous run. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from three starts. Should be in this for a long way. MEGA POWER (4) cannot be ruled out despite a tricky draw.

Was out of placings last time (26.84) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1/2, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Expected to go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (39.33) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 11 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from four starts. Might find this too tough.
