MANUKA KING (2) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when second (30.83) at this track in an A4. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. SWIFT GIA (3) was always prominent from this same draw last time and drew clear to score (30.42) in an A5 over 500m at this track. Has the ability and can measure up. HITTHEBOTTLENEIL (5) was safely held in tougher company last start at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (30.75) beating Manuka King in an A4 on April 24. Leading chance. MANUKA DUCHESS (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.
