Manukau Race 6

CORUBA RAIN PBD

Prize Money: $4,091

WONDERING WHY (3) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (19.07) over 318m at this track in a Class 2. Deserves another chance. SWEET (8) jumped from this box and scrambled home to a narrow Class 1 win at this track over 318m latest (19.28). This tougher but looks a leading chance again. FOREVER FLICKY (7) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a head (18.92) behind Aces at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. MISS FERGUS (5) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing. Odds will be appealing.

Last start finished 2nd on June 14 over 318m at this track behind Baby Sass beaten 0.7 lengths (19.07) in a Class 2. Found one better last time. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.

Was out of placings last time when seventh (19.38) at this track in a Class 2. Will jump from box 4 for the first time. Not doing enough to be considered.

Looks close to another win after her success on February 22 at this track over 318m. Last start was second over 318m in 18.92, behind Aces. Ready to run a big race.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 318m at this track in a handy 19.28, beating Mister Pressive. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.
