Manukau Race 12

NEW ZEALAND DERBY NIGHT 12/3 SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

PORTLAND FLEET (2) stalked the lead from a low draw then burst clear to score (21.62) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1 over 375m. Can continue the winning form. FRITILLARY (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (19.17) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Does drop down in class and cannot be taken lightly. HUNTER PEARL (6) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (19.18) in a Class 1/2 at this track. Can improve sharply here. DYNAMIC KIWI (5) can sneak into the finish with the right run. Has good early box speed to be right on the pace early.

Ran a better race when second behind Opawa Ingrid at Cambridge Raceway last start over 457m (26.11). Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.

Missed the frame latest (19.17) when fifth over 318m at this track in a Class 3. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Hard to beat with even luck.
