Manukau Race 4 - Sportsbowl Function Centre Pbd Sprint Heat 2

SHADOWED (4) promising type who notched his 1st career success when too good (25.65) at Ipswich last time. Rates highly here and will go close. EARNESTNESS (1) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Wanganui Straight over 313m. One of the leading chances again. ACES (5) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (26.17) in a Class 1/2 at Cambridge Raceway over 457m. Form from his last run is proving strong. One of the main contenders. MY CRUSADER (7) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can atone.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished fifth over 318m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won by 2.5 lengths at Ipswich (25.65) beating Nacho Ninja in a Maiden on October 1. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
