Manukau Race 7

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

HIGHS AND LOWS (8) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in nine starts, including four wins and five placings. Placed last time (18.98) at this track in a Class 2 FIN, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this despite facing harder opposition. NOT ANOTHER (3) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 1.75 lengths away in second (18.90) behind Clear Passage at this track. Will be at peak race fitness now and can measure up. WAERENGA SONIC (2) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when third in a Class 3 at this track (18.98). Bold showing expected again. OPAWA STAYER (4) is a last-start placegetter from this box – sure to have admirers.

Hit the frame latest (18.90) when second at this track in a Class 3. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Going okay and is the one they have to overcome.

Improved sharply when third behind Nineteen Red at Cambridge Raceway last start over 375m (21.61). Made up good ground from the back and will be strong late again. Top-three hope with the right run.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 318m at this track. Not going well enough. Hard dog to follow with confidence.

Won two starts back at this track over 318m in 18.93. Followed that up with a minor placing over 318m at this track at Class 2 FIN a week ago. This looks too tough.

In the money last time at this track (18.98) in a Class 2 FIN, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from eight starts. Great chance to atone.
