Manukau Race 5

MPS FENCING SERIES HEAT 3 PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

PORTLAND FLEET (2) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 2nd over 318m at this track beaten 0.8 lengths (19.08) behind Waiterimu Gem in a Class 1 on February 8. Must come into calculations. BOOM KIWI (5) hit the frame latest (19.10) when third at this track in a Class 1. Already a winner from this draw. Usually is a reliable beginner and mapped to get a clear run early. Expected to run well. NETHERTON FLYER (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only a neck (19.17) at this track. Got the money at his only try from this box. Seems to be slow into stride but does hit the line hard. Will be much improved with the race-day experience and expected to go close. AU FAIT (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start. Recent edition to the north and will appreciate having had a look at this track last start.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.57) in a Class 1, finishing a 7 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Must respect.
