Manukau Race 9

PUMP & ENGINEERING SERVICES LTD STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

COCOON THE FOOD (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 31.16 beating SOBER DRIVER. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Racing against a similar field and hard to go past. OPAWA DALLAS (1) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished third (31.43) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Form here sound including three wins. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to her name from nine starts. Bold showing expected from the ace draw. SOBER DRIVER (4) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (26.68) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can feature with the right run. MEGA POWER (6) will have admirers again after placing in a quick run last time out.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at Cambridge Raceway. Placed two back then finished a 11 length fifth (27.16) at Cambridge Raceway. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished sixth over 527m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Can't recommend in this field.
