Manukau Race 6

GREYHOUNDS MAKE GREAT PETS SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

PORTLAND FLEET (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 4 length win at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 21.92. Draws to advantage and has a good record over this journey. Running out nominations in the same class and looks the one to beat. WONDERING WHY (6) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (19.48) in a Class 1 H at this track. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. BEAR O'CLOCK (4) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at this track over 318m behind Waiterimu Gem (19.50) in a Class 1. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to give a good account. NOT QUITE WHITE (8) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when sixth (19.81), beaten 11 lengths. On occasions can show good early box speed.
