Manukau Race 7 - Founders Day Sprint Pbd

QUINTESSENTIAL (4) has a superb record at this track and trip, unbeaten so far from six starts. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (20.97) in a Class 4 last time at Cambridge Raceway. Looks well placed and should feature. MAD PADDY (6) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind OPAWA DANNY (21.92) in a Class 5. Placed at his previous run. Expected to feature in the finish. BIG TIME LENA (7) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 18.27 beating PORTLAND DING US. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature again. HUNTER LOU (3) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Backs up quickly after winning by 2 lengths at Cambridge Raceway (20.97) beating Portland Jessie in a Class 5 on December 12 three days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Has been racing extremely well, putting 11 wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Cambridge Raceway (20.97) beating Portland Mark in a Class 4 on December 5. Unbeaten in three starts from this box. Key runner.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.92) in a Class 5, finishing a 13 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and six places from 15 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
