Manukau Race 10

DAVID & DEB STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

OPAWA RANDY (2) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (26.08) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 2/3 over 457m. Top prospect. MEGA POWER (7) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 527m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Should be in this for a long way. WONDERING WHY (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (26.45) in a Class 2/3 at Cambridge Raceway. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BOOM LATERAL (8) is the old boy of this field but still racing in great heart. Boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Solid performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Cambridge Raceway over 650m (38.65) beating Night Flight in Class 0 on August 21. Drops back in distance so prefre as a place chance only.

Most recent effort finished last on August 21 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway behind Opawa Blake beaten 8 lengths (26.45) in a Class 2/3. Capable of much better. Has ability and worth including.
