Manukau Race 6

MAY HOUNDS REHOMING GROUP FINAL PBD

Stake: $3,200

INEPTITUDE (6) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (21.73) from Box 5 at Cambridge Raceway. Will be hitting the line stronger than most. Key chance in this line up. PARADISE POINT (8) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths (19.04) behind JEAN GENIE at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. Will enjoy the wide box draw. NORDIC DELIGHT (4) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts four wins and three placings. Comes off a (18.83) win last time, scoring by one length in a Class 2 H over 318m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. TILLY WORMWOOD (2) warrants respect following a recent placing. Usually shows good early box speed.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 318m at this track in a handy (18.91), beating Ineptitude. Tricky draw makes it harder today.

Has been consistent, placing at his last 4 starts. Last start finished 3rd on October 23 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Nineteen Red beaten 2 lengths (21.73) in a Class 2. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
