Manukau Race 5 - MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES PBD

MAIN CHARACTER (2) jumped well to win over the 457m at Cambridge Raceway two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at Cambridge Raceway last start. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. First time over this distance but races as though it won't be a problem. Can find winning form. SCHMEICHEL (3) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (26.55), beaten 8 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Should be in this for a long way. OPAWA SUGAR (1) jumps from box 1 for the first time after placing latest at this track (31.44) in a Class 3/4. Should be further improved after having her first run up north for a new trainer. Expected to be in the finish again. COCOON THE FOOD (8) steps up in class today but is in form and must be included among the chances.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 527m at this track in a handy (31.19), beating Opawa Kelsey. Key chance again.
