Manukau Race 4

MPS FENCING SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

FOXTROT MILA (5) is a promising dog in the frame at 14 of 29 starts including six wins and was in the minors again latest (18.81) over 318m at this track. Has a squeeze box but has the early speed to negotiate. Has ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. WU TANG (3) turned in a moderate effort last time when sixth at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Opawa Sooty (22.37) in a Class 4. Was in the money the start prior. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Should play a prominent role. SCHMEICHEL (2) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, a neck from the winner Waerenga Tails (31.24) at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature. MAD PADDY (4) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering. Getting on in years but was a former champion sprinter.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability and is a key chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.13) in a Class 4, finishing a 8 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from six starts. Will need the right run.
