Manukau Race 6

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

WAITERIMU GEM (7) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.2 lengths (18.98) behind Portland Avatar at this track. Gets an ideal draw and must come into calculations. PARADISE POINT (6) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (19.08) at this track in Class 1 over 318m. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. NORDIC DELIGHT (5) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (19.17) at this track in a Class 2. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. STOP WORKING (3) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back. Odds will be lucrative.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 318m at this track in a handy (19.01), beating Val Jewel. Has ability and worth including.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (19.08) at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Racing well and deserves a win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.17) in a Class 2, finishing a 4 length fourth. Yet to miss the frame from seven starts from the draw, including three wins. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 318m (19.08) beating Affectionately in Class 1 on March 29. Looks well placed and can measure up again.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fifth over 318m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
