Manukau Race 4

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

SCOUT JACK (5) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (19.06) in a Class 2 at this track. Progressive dog who looks headed to higher company. Tricky draw to contend with but still makes plenty of appeal. PORTLAND AVATAR (7) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (18.90) at this track in a Class 2 over 318m. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Form should stack up. LEONARDO JEWEL (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (18.95) at this track behind Hanzo River in a Class 3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Hard to beat again. CHANCE TO SHINE (2) will appreciate a return to this venue and can fill a top-three spot.

Improved sharply when second behind Hanzo River at this track last start over 318m (18.95). Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.
