Manukau Race 4

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

HANZO RIVER (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and three minors from 17 tries. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (21.51) in a Class 3 last time at Cambridge Raceway. Dominate victory last start and is usually a very quick beginner. Looks suited here and rates on top. PORTLAND ABIGAIL (6) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts four wins and two placings. Placed last time (21.52) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 3, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths. Can feature with the right run. MADAM PHAEDRA (7) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (21.83) in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Rates a key player. DARK SMOKE (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole in a close finish last time. Tends to drift wide in the run so the box draw is ideal.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 12 lengths at Cambridge Raceway. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 3rd on March 22 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Undone beaten 5 lengths (21.52) in a Class 3. Looks hard to beat this time.

Hit the frame latest (21.83) when third at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 3. Has two successes and three minors from six starts from box 7. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

In the money last time at this track (18.94) in a Class 3, finishing a 0.6 lengths second. Goes very well from the draw boasting six victories and 11 places from 30 starts. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.
