Manukau Race 11

MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

MAD PADDY (4) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (19.08) but did record best time of the card when winning five back. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has winning claims on his best figures. WOLFMAN JACK (8) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing sixth (19.25) in a Class 4/5 at this track. Generally fast to begin but always back from the wide draw last time. Has a strong record here at this journey including four wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WAERENGA SONIC (3) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.75 lengths from the winner Portland Ding Us (18.74) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Will give a great sight again. EVENING OUT (7) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length sixth (19.25) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Cambridge Raceway. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.
