Manukau Race 2

PORTLAND COCO (5) is a smart dog who led throughout to score last time at Cambridge Raceway (20.93), making it two straight wins. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Beat a top field last start and can continue on with his winning form. TOBACCO ROAD (6) missed the frame last time when fifth (19.07) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Great chance to atone. SWEET (7) scored a 1.3 lengths win (19.02) latest, claiming a Class 1 over 318m at this track and draws the same box this time. Leading player again despite rising in class. PATCH IT UP (3) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered for the minors again.
