Manukau Race 1

WE LOVE OUR DOGS THEY LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA RYAN (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 0.6 lengths at this track. Has been going very good in these veteran races and expected to go well again. MIAMI TAN (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished second (19.16) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. A bit hit or miss at the jump but when she picks it, is very hard to get past. OPAWA KELSEY (7) dropped out early but hit the line hard, charging into third and beaten 5.5 lengths win (19.44) at this track in Class 1. Must be included in calculations. GO AMBER (6) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time. Get a spare box on the inside so should receive a clear run upon box rise.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.6 lengths over 318m at this track in a handy 19.00, beating Waiterimu Gem. The form out of the last run measures up. Expected to go well again.
