Manukau Race 10

SPORTSBOWL FUNCTION CENTRE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

PORTLAND MARK (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (18.79) last time in a Class 5 H at this track. Form here at the trip sound including 16 wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Was beaten by a champion dog last start and ready to return to form. BIG TIME LENA (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (18.95) last time in a Class 5 at this track. Is much better than recent form and has to be in the mix. WILD PANSY (8) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at this track over 318m behind Hunter Lou (19.72) in a Class 5. Goes very well from this draw with 20 wins and 10 minor placings from 49 starts. One of the main contenders. ROMANTIC INTENT (5) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out. Odds will be lucrative.
