Manukau Race 4

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,636

GO AMBER (5) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (19.16) in a Class 1 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can make amends this time with a clean beginning. SWEETWATER OAK (6) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 318m behind Ineptitude (19.63) in a Class 1. Placed at his previous run. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Usually jumps quickly and is worth another chance. PATCH IT UP (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.29) last time in a Class 1 FIN at Cambridge Raceway. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Great chance to atone. PARADISE POINT (8) is another with top-three prospects. Odds should be appealing.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 318m. Will not find this easy. Would be better placed in something easier.
