Manukau Race 9 - SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SPRINT PBD
QUINTESSENTIAL (5) was rewarded for his honesty after two minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 318m (18.44). Yet to miss the placings in 10 runs from this box, including seven wins. Has very good box manners and is hard to go past. HUNTER KAREN (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3.5 lengths into second (18.69) at this track in a Class 4/5 over 318m. Goes very well from this draw with five wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Can ping the lids and is expected to be in this for a long way. ALDEBARAN (8) will be thereabouts after been given a little spell. Box draw should see him receive a clear run in transit. Something for the Multiples: NOT LIKE US (7)
