Manukau Race 4

Pump & Engineering Services Ltd Stakes Pbd

Stake: $3,700

ZIPPING BESTOW (6) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (21.41) at Cambridge Raceway in Class 1 over 375m. Expected to be right there at the finish again. GO BELLA (8) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last four runs. Last time finished 2nd on December 8 over 527m at this track behind OPAWA INGRID beaten one length (31.02) in a Class 1. Expecting another good run. OPAWA INGRID (3) had the drop on the lead from a soft draw and drew clear to score (30.95) at this track in Class 1 over 527m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of main contenders. OPAWA SELENA (1) will make her presence felt following a brief layoff.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing fifth (22.13) at Cambridge Raceway before going for a ten weeks spell. Looks a danger to the top hope.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by one length at this track over 527m (30.95) beating Go Bella in Class 1 on December 8. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
