Manukau Race 7 - CHOPPER & GOOSE @235 THE KU SPRINT PBD

DYNAMITE BOY (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Class 1/2 winner three back (21.73) at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Better than latest and can atone here. HELENA JET (7) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from the winner Honcho in second (18.89) at this track. Has been racing in career best form and another bold showing expected. CARTOON (2) has been well supported on the tote last few races but failed to deliver. Much better than recent runs and give one more chance today. HUNTER GEORGE (8) form prior to last start was solid. Is likely to have admirers.
