Manukau Race 2

ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

OPAWA GO GIRL (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (22.70) last time in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway. Has a good record here including four wins. Better than last start and worth following up. WIDE BOY (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten half a length at this track (18.94). Will give a great sight again. PANDA EXPRESS (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.24) in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway. Solid record here winning four races. Should be at peak fitness now and worth another chance. OPAWA STAYER (3) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. On her day is capable of jumping quickly.
