Manukau Race 6

MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES PBD

Stake: $5,500

UNIQUE SUNRISE (7) latest effort finished 2nd on June 29 over 527m at this track behind Adobe Videl beaten 5 lengths (31.00) in a Class 2/3. Looks a leading chance and expected to go close. OPAWA WINE (5) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Juice Master (30.95) in a Class 3/4. Has the pace to be prominent. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Leading player again. OPAWA PHILIPA (4) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Wanganui Straight over 313m behind Big Time Martin (17.93) in a Class 4. Has the ability to give this a shake. BIG TIME TRACTOR (6) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 0.7 lengths at Cambridge Raceway (21.66) beating Highview Spot in a Class 3 on June 26. Happy to risk in this.
