Manukau Race 4

DONNA & CHRIS EVANS HT 3 SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,900

WU TANG (2) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Missed the frame latest (19.46) when sixth over 318m at this track in a Class 1 FIN. Looks well placed and should feature. SWEET (8) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (19.28) at this track in a Class 1. Can find the frame this time. ALPINE JEWEL (4) was well supported last time but could only manage second (31.46), beaten 4.5 lengths. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Expected to be in the finish again. TILLY WORMWOOD (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (19.59), beaten 6 lengths.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 6th over 318m at this track beaten 8 lengths (19.46) behind Helena Jet in a Class 1 FIN on July 27. Placed two back at Cambridge Raceway. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Was in commission but ran below her best last start when fifth (19.59) over 318m at this track. Should be in this for a long way.

In the money last time at this track (31.46) in a Class 1, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Has ability and should feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 1 on August 10 over 318m at this track behind Opawa Freya beaten 5.5 lengths (19.28). Placed two back at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished last over 318m at this track beaten 7 lengths (19.45) behind Opawa Freya in a Class 1 on August 10. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
