OPAWA VANESSA (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (19.24) in a Class 2/3 at Manukau. Has a good record at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Comes to a veteran race today and can bounce back. DYNAMIC KIWI (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a head win at Manukau in a handy 19.26. Fair draw can see a good run and has the ability and in winning form. Has very reliable box manners and a bold showing expected again. SWEET (8) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (19.44) at Manukau. Won nicely from this draw two back at this track. One of the better hopes. HUNTER HONEY (7) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Big chance again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manukau (19.24) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Expected to go close.

Last start finished seventh over 318m at Manukau, beaten 8 lengths (19.55) behind Val Jewel in a Class 2 on July 26. Better for the run but looks tested in this field.

Has finished fifth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 457m. Slow starts make it difficult for him to feature. Others preferred.

Solid performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Manukau over 318m (19.16) beating Not Quite White in Class 1 on July 26. Must be a winning chance again.

Was a little disappointing last start, fading in the run home at Manukau over 318m. The start prior was at her best with a 4 length win over 375m at this track. Capable of taking this out.
