Manukau Race 6

PUMP & ENGINEERING SERVICES LTD STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $4,091

MAIN CHARACTER (3) promising type yet to be beaten in three starts. Was a most impressive winner last time scoring by 6 lengths at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 21.67. Already a winner from this box. Looks the one to beat. ALTRUISM (7) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (21.75) at Cambridge Raceway. Not the quickest into stride but does get home well. Bold showing expected. GO CONCORD (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (26.42), beaten 6 lengths. One of the main contenders. TOBACCO ROAD (8) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back. Odds will be appealing.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Down grades and dangerous.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (38.86) over 650m at Cambridge Raceway. Solid claims this line-up.

Last start finished fourth in a Class 2/3 on February 26 over 650m at Cambridge Raceway behind Opawa Randy, beaten 22 lengths (40.26). Needs it easier.

Last start finished 3rd in a Class 1 on March 1 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Lord Arrow beaten 6 lengths (21.75). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Consistent performer who is a great chance to score.
