Manukau Race 5

SHANDELL PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

BABY SASS (6) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 1.2 lengths at this track in a handy 18.95 beating PORTLAND SASHA. Draw won't worry her and beat her main rival here last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. PORTLAND SASHA (7) is rarely out of the finish, recording 10 places from 18 starts. Finished second (19.03) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Will give a great sight again. BEAR O'CLOCK (4) latest effort finished 4th on May 24 over 318m at this track behind Waerenga Ritchie beaten 6 lengths (19.45) in a Class 1/2. Looks well placed here and among the chances. AFFECTIONATELY (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back at decent each-way value.

Most recent effort finished 5th over 318m at this track beaten 4 lengths (19.24) behind Baby Sass in a Class 1 on May 24. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Missed the frame latest (19.45) when fourth over 318m at this track in a Class 1/2. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and 12 places from 28 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.2 lengths at this track over 318m (18.95) beating Portland Sasha in Class 1 on May 24. Can make it two on the bounce.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 318m at this track beaten 1.2 lengths (19.03) behind Baby Sass in a Class 1 on May 24. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
