Manukau Race 2

THRILLING BRAT PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

LEONARDO JEWEL (2) won again in an impressive display after running them ragged to bring up three wins in succession, scoring by 0.8 lengths (21.48) at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Looks the testing material. ROMANTIC INTENT (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (21.97) in a Class 3/4 at Cambridge Raceway. The form out of last run is most impressive. Has ability and can measure up. PORTLAND KRUGER (3) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fifth (21.84) at Cambridge Raceway latest. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Worth another chance. BEAU VIEW LUCA (8) picked up a cheque out of this box most recently - in the mix again. Has had a previous look at this track and will have gained benefit from that outing.
