Manukau Race 11

SUNLINE TROPHY STAKES PBD

Prize Money: $7,000

PORTLAND FONZIE (4) has hit the frame at six of 23 starts and has won two of last three, the latest scoring (30.96) over 527m at this track. Form at this distance is sound. Expected to feature in the finish. PORTLAND MAGIC (8) finished well back at Cambridge Raceway last time when a 9 length fifth (21.71) but scored three back at Cambridge Raceway (21.67). Recent racing over the sprint journey and steps up to a middle distance today. In the mix. SIMEK (3) is better than last start when fourth (21.61) from Box 4 at Cambridge Raceway over 375m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Steps up to a middle distance and predicted to lead them early. Should be about the mark. COCOON THE FOOD (6) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (31.90), beaten 8 lengths. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from eight attempts.

Was out of placings last time (21.61) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from six starts. Is a danger.

Comments

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 527m at this track in a handy 30.96, beating Schmeichel. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Backs up after finishing 7th on February 19 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 5. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 527m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.
