Manukau Race 9

Hewlett Electrical Sprint Pbd

Stake: $3,100

JUST ONE GRIN (2) is better than last start when fifth (21.54) in a Class 3/4 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including three wins. Looks the one to beat on his best form. PURPLE HEART (4) comes here after a swift win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m in 21.13. Has the ability and can measure up again. APACHE BLYDE (7) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Hunter Lou (18.32) in a Class 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Winning chance. Something for the Multiples: WAERENGA NOVA (5)

Strong performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Class 3/4 last start at Cambridge Raceway, clocking a solid 21.13 over the 375m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Could manage only seventh last time but impressed the start prior when she recorded a good 18.56 over 318m finishing second at this track. Can measure up with a repeat run two back.
