Manukau Race 10

OPAWA CORBAN STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $5,000

TURTLE WATCH (8) had been racing in honest fashion, recording two placings in a row before finishing fifth (31.26) at this track latest. Solid record at the distance, winning five races. Can make amends. JUICE MASTER (6) ran the fastest on the card last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths (25.81) at Cambridge Raceway. Leading player again. OPAWA PHILIPA (4) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when sixth (21.95), beaten 6 lengths. Worth another chance. THRILLING MUSE (5) has been mixing his form and can fill a top-three spot.

Put a space on them to win by 8 lengths at this track over 779m (47.17) beating Opawa Louise in Class 2/3 on June 8. Very reliable from this draw. Live chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.95) in a Class 4, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has three successes and four minors from 12 starts from box 4. Looks a key chance on best form.
