Manukau Race 5

LAST ONE STANDING STAKES PBD

Stake: $4,400

OPAWA TOBY (4) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 2 lengths back in second (31.21) at this track in a Class 1/2 over 527m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Deserves serious consideration. GO CONCORD (2) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 3.5 lengths (21.96) at Cambridge Raceway in Class 1. Expected to feature. OPAWA WINE (1) stuck on well last time to finish 0.7 lengths back in second (31.02) at this track in a Class 1/2 over 527m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Should have enough early speed to hold up from the inside draw. Can feature again. WONDERING WHY (6) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to bounce back. Should be at decent each-way value.

In the money last time at this track (31.02) in a Class 1/2, finishing a 0.7 lengths second. Has two successes and two minors from eight starts from box 1. Hard to beat with even luck.
