LEONARDO JEWEL (2) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from 11 starts. Hit the frame latest (21.55) when third at this track in a Class 4/5. Makes strong appeal on best. COCOON THE FOOD (6) box seated before sticking on well to finish 6 lengths away in second (31.00) at Manukau in a Class 4/5 over 527m. Beaten by a very smart dog last start . Racing well and deserves a win. MADAM PHAEDRA (4) is a last start winner who can measure up again. Steps up in grade but has been flying in recent runs.

Good effort to win last start by 0.6 lengths over 375m at this track in a handy (21.78), beating Opawa Raisin. Must be a winning chance again.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. A quick beginner who could hold on for a minor place.
