Manukau Race 10

WATERLOO CUP HEAT 3

Stake: $6,300

FEAR TO TREAD (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.2 lengths at Wanganui in a handy 30.11 beating Big Time Brave. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SINEAD BALE (7) scored two back in quick then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 17 length 6th at Addington (31.26). Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. UNIQUE SUNRISE (3) goes very well here starting 11 times for four wins and six minors. Hit the frame latest (31.24) when third at this track in a Class 4/5. Looks suited here and can measure up. ZESTFUL (5) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Eye-catching performance tracking the speed and going on to score by 1.2 lengths in a Class 5 last start at Wanganui, clocking a slick 30.11 over the 520m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (29.96) over 525m at Addington. Awkwardly drawn but is worth plenty of thought.
