Manukau Race 8 - GIVE US A GO SPRINT PBD

HANZO RIVER (3) turned in another strong performance after leading to make it back to back wins, scoring at this track over 318m (18.55). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Is a reliable beginner and looks to have an edge on most of these. OPAWA TAZ (4) is a last start Class 4 winner, jumping from this box and scoring a 1.5 lengths win over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Goes very well from this same draw winning two races. Must include in calculations. WOLFMAN JACK (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (18.71) at this track behind Portland Andy in a Class 4/5. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Faces a slight down grade today and a bold showing is expected. ROMANTIC INTENT (8) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.
