Manukau Race 2

Book @ Sportsbowl Function Centre Sprint Pbd

Stake: $2,500

HUNTER GEORGE (8) stalked the lead then burst clear to score (21.67) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 0 over 375m. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Ideally placed to take this out. STOP WORKING (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage a neck away in second (18.82). Overdue and expected to feature again. KIWI MOMENTS (4) produced a moderate effort last time when fifth at this track over 527m behind Opawa Kirsten (31.37) in a Class 1. The form out of her last race has been franked. One of the better hopes. SUFFICE (7) can run a bold race on best form.

Looks close to another win after her success on November 10 at this track over 318m. Last start was second over 318m in 18.82, behind Narcissa Malfoy. Should be right in the finish.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished seventh over 318m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.
