Manukau Race 4 - ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

OPAWA BAIT (6) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Diamond Frankie (22.09) in a Class 3. Has ability and looks hard to stop. NOT ANOTHER (5) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 318m behind Hunter Karen (19.04) in a Class 4/5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Drops in grade today and should play a prominent role. EPIC IN TROUBLE (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.2 lengths at this track in a handy 18.84 beating Portland Kruger. Steps up in class today but will go close again if she runs up to latest. WIDE BOY (7) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently. Should be at decent each-way value.

Has finished last in her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 318m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
