Manukau Race 9 - MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES PBD

COCOON THE FOOD (8) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 1.1 lengths third (31.55) in a Class 3/4. Predicted to be running home stronger than most. Rates a top chance. OPAWA SELENA (4) was below best last time finishing fourth at Cambridge Raceway, but prior to that had been racing well including a Class 1/2 win two back at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. OPAWA SUGAR (2) wound up strongly to place two back then did the same last time, finishing on late when third (21.72) in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway. Expected to be in this for a long way. APRICOT SLICE (3) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out. Has a slight drop in class for this race.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 527m. Last start finished 3rd over 527m at this track beaten 1.1 lengths (31.55) behind Main Character in a Class 3/4 on April 4. Deserves serious consideration again.
