Manukau Race 6

PUMP & ENGINEERING SERVICES LTD STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $3,727

COCOON THE FOOD (5) is better than last start when sixth (27.31) from Box 8 at Cambridge Raceway over 457m. Should be very hard to beat this time. ALTRUISM (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 22.00 beating Nina's Gift. Stays in the same grade and can make it back-to-back wins. SOBER DRIVER (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (22.57) last time in a Class 1 H at Cambridge Raceway. Has a good record here including two wins. Has the ability to give this a shake. OPAWA ERICA (8) was a close-up placing last start - cannot be ignored. Should be improved with fresh up run.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Finished third last time (31.44) over 527m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m in 22.00 last start, beating Nina's Gift. Form reads well for this.
