Manukau Race 6

MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $5,000

SCHMEICHEL (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has hit the frame at his last six runs, the latest finishing third (21.42) at Cambridge Raceway. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Overdue and gets his chance. HUNTER JACK (4) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a Class 2/3 three back before a placing at Cambridge Raceway the following run. Expecting significant improvement. UNIQUE SUNRISE (5) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (18.84) in a Class 2/3 at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. BIG TIME CENTRAL (6) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Was out of placings last time (17.80) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 3, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Will need some luck to feature.
