VIRKON*S DISINFECTANT STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,000

GO COOPER (4) caught the eye when clocking a speedy 25.87 over 457m at Manawatu three back, then has hit the frame in both runs since. Has the ability and is expected to go close again. THRILLING MUSE (5) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and five placings from nine starts. In the money last time at Manawatu (26.15) in a Class 2, finishing a 1.2 lengths third. Can feature in the finish. SAKURA (3) was out of the placings last time but recorded an impressive Class 1/2 win (30.75) at Manukau three runs back. Can improve sharply here. OPAWA INGRID (7) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 3 lengths at this track (21.51) beating Black Lion in a Class 2 on March 20. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
