Manukau Race 7

Mt Wellington Tab Series Heat 2 Pbd

Stake: $3,700

WONDERING WHY (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (19.13) in a Class 1 at this track. Should bounce back. SHADOWED (5) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a win (25.65) at Ipswich the start prior. Should be about the money. LITTLE POTENTIAL (6) was in the money again last start when second at Addington (30.55). Well placed here and should do much better. GO SKY (4) drops in distance and is worth considering.

Comments

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth over 318m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths (19.22) behind Go Cohen in a Class 1 H on January 5. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (43.59) at Cambridge Raceway last start. Aided by a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (30.55) at Addington. One of the better hopes.

Latest effort finished 6th over 318m at this track beaten 5 lengths (19.13) behind Youtan Poluo in a Class 1 on January 16. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
