Manukau Race 6

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,800

EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) had the drop on the lead from a soft draw and drew clear to score (18.76) at this track in Class 2 over 318m. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from three starts. Expected to be right there at the finish again. MISS ROWDY (3) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when second in a Class 3 at this track (18.78). Harder here but expected to feature again. YOU PICK ONE (5) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (19.01) in a Class 3 at this track last time out. Well placed here and can atone this time. OPAWA GO GIRL (6) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.
