Manukau Race 11 - ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE.CO.NZ SPRINT PBD

WAERENGA RITCHIE (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (19.05) at this track behind Evening Out in a Class 4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning claims. WAERENGA JOSAY (3) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 18.85 beating Undone. Will go close again if runs up to latest. BIG TIME LENA (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 39 times for 14 wins and 12 minors. Hit the frame latest (18.62) when second at this track in a Class 4/5. Looks suited here and can measure up. OPAWA VANESSA (6) placed here at this trip last start - cannot be ignored.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.87) in a Class 4, finishing a 16 length eighth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Must respect.
