Manukau Extra Race 3

THANKS TO SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE TEAM PBD

Prize Money: $6,273

MIDNIGHT REX (3) goes very well this course and distance starting nine times for three wins and five minors. In the money last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.30) in a Class 5, finishing a 0.9 lengths second. With a clean break looks hard to beat. HANZO RIVER (5) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a four-start winning streak, but could only manage sixth (21.54) at Cambridge Raceway. Missed the jump last start but is usually a very safe beginner. Worth another chance. HUNTER KAREN (7) was below best last time at this track (18.93) in a Class 5, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has already won four times from this draw. Among the main chances. SUNRISE MICHELLE (8) picked up a cheque in slick time most recently - in the mix again.

Looks close to another win after his success on July 9 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Last start was second over 375m in 21.30, behind Opawa Taz. Excellent record from this draw, including six wins. Go well.

Went down narrowly in a Class 5 at this track latest when a neck second but did record a good 18.50 over the 318m journey. With a clean start should be thereabouts.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.54) in a Class 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Well worth another chance.

Missed the frame latest (18.93) when sixth over 318m at this track in a Class 5. Box stats strong with four wins and four placings from 10 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Class 5 on July 19 over 318m at this track behind Portland Coco beaten half a length (18.52). Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to play a big role.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 318m. Not doing enough to be considered.
