Manukau Race 4

May Hounds Greyhound Rehoming Group Sprint Pbd

Stake: $2,800

BIG TIME MEGHAN (1) finished in the minors last start over the 375m at Manawatu but ran a swift 21.51 last start. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. RED GOES FASTER (2) has a strong record this trip with six wins and five placings from 17 starts. Below best last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.84) in a Class 2, finishing a 9 length eighth. Looks one of the chances. CAPPIELLO (6) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (18.67) at this track in a Class 3. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. OPAWA RYAN (8) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Hit the frame at Manawatu last time when a 1.75 lengths third but did record a fast 21.51 over the 375m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished last in a Class 2 on December 12 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Bay Flyer beaten 9 lengths (21.84). Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

In the money last time at this track (18.67) in a Class 3, finishing a 0.6 lengths second. Has three wins and six placings from 17 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Working his way into winning form after his success on November 24 at this track over 318m. Last start was fourth over 318m in 18.76, behind Miss Rowdy. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.
