Manukau Race 1

WELCOME TO MANUKAU SPORTSBOWL SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,500

BIG TIME LOCKEY (3) is in hot form, winning his last two on end, the latest jumping from this same box to score in a SPECA at this track (18.97). In form and rates on top again. BIG TIME STICKER (8) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 318m behind BIG TIME LOCKEY (19.57) in a SPECA. One of the main contenders. JOE BANANAS (2) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (19.14) at this track. Expecting another good run. HOMEBUSH RETA (6) is new to this course, but cannot be left out. Watch closely.

Has won his last two. Good effort to score just six days ago over 318m at this track by 2.5 lengths in a SPECA. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
