Manukau Race 3

PUMP & ENGINEERING SERVICES SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

OPAWA FREYA (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (21.72), beaten 5 lengths. Will appreciate a return to this venue and has winning claims on her best figures. CHANCE TO SHINE (3) stuck on well last time to finish a nose back in second (21.37) at Manawatu in a Class 2 over 375m. Ran a cheeky race at big odds last start and a bold showing expected. STOP WORKING (2) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (19.22) at this track. Can measure up. MISS FERGUS (5) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit. Has reliable box manners.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (19.18) over 318m at this track. Right in the mix again.

Won two starts back at this track over 318m in 19.15. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 318m at this track at Class 2 level. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
