Manukau Race 3

SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SERIES HEAT 2 PBD

Stake: $2,500

CARTOON (4) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 5.5 lengths (19.24) in a Class 1 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish again. ZIPPING BESTOW (2) turned in a fair 4th-place finish last time at this track over 318m (19.06). Has the ability and a bold showing is expected. DARK ALI (3) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (19.21) at this track in Class 0 over 318m. Won at his only start from this draw. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. NOT ANOTHER (5) is worth including after a top-three finish from the same draw most recently.

Missed the frame latest (19.06) when fourth over 318m at this track in a Class 1. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 13 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
