Manukau Race 11 - ROB ROPER PBD

ACES (4) won again in another strong performance after tracking the lead to make it two on the bounce, scoring at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.58). Has a strong record out of this box with seven wins and three minor placings from 16 starts. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. OPAWA VANESSA (7) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 1.5 lengths third (18.96) behind Papa Kiwi at this track. Leading player again. WIDE BOY (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (19.10) in a Class 4 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Leading chance. FRITILLARY (8) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently. Does down grade in class and can hit the line strongly from out wide.
