Manukau Race 2

Mt Wellington Tab Series Final Pbd

Prize Money: $6,545

THRILLING MUSE (6) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 5.5 lengths (31.30) in a Class 1 H at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. TESS (8) impressed last time when posted a slick 30.90 win here in a new PB this course and distance. In form and looks like a leading player again. LITTLE POTENTIAL (3) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the money at the last three runs. Can measure up. EAGLE EYE (1) has the perfect inside box draw and returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 318m in 18.58. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 527m at this track at Class 1 H level. Can't make much of a case this time.

Solid performance to win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 527m (30.80) beating Little Potential in Class 1 H on January 19. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
