Manukau Race 7

Railway Sprint Final Pbd (G1)

Prize Money: $27,272

JERRY COLA (3) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 18.06 beating LION'S DEN. Fair draw can see a good run and goes well at this distance. Has a strong record from box 3, including three wins. The hardest to beat again. OPAWA MOCHA (8) could not have been more impressive last start in his scintillating 18.22 win at this track over 318m. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. QUINTESSENTIAL (4) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 5 last time (18.41) at this track. Will give a great sight again. MIDNIGHT BROCKIE (2) saluted last start after racing on the speed. That form reads well.

Comments

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Class 5 FIN at Cambridge Raceway and recording a dominant 20.98 over the 375m journey. Can come into calculations at odds.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 318m at this track (18.32,) beating Hadwin Bale. In line for a hat-trick. Must include.

Was far too good after running them ragged claiming his three straight wins at this track over 318m (18.06). With a clean break will feature again.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.4 lengths second at this track but did record an outstanding 18.42 for the 318m trip. Harder here and one for the multiples.
