MAY HOUNDS GREYHOUND REHOMING GROUP STAKES

Prize Money: $6,091

SWEET BONANZA (3) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 2 lengths (25.67). Beat most of his rivals last start and will be very hard to beat again. PORTLAND FONZIE (1) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 7 lengths (30.73) at Manukau. One of the leading chances again from the ace box. PORTLAND MAGNUM (5) hit the frame latest (31.26) when second at Manukau in a Class 4/5. Has already won three times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 7 lengths behind Stuck Throttle over 457m. Not going well enough. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
