Manukau Race 9 - BON VOYAGE RHIAN FARRELL PBD

BLITZ ATTACK (3) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a three-start winning streak, but could only manage seventh (26.06) at Manawatu. If he can handle this circuit first time up then he is definitely one of the main contenders. JUST ONE GRIN (7) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his superb 18.49 win at this track over 318m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Expected to feature on best figures. HUNTER KAREN (4) is always hard to beat when she races at this trip. Is very speedy from the boxes. Something for the Multiples: MOJITO DREAMS (2)
