Manukau Race 4

SWIFT FANTASY PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

INDIGO SHADE (4) missed the frame last time, finishing 7th (22.03) last time in a Class 3 at Cambridge Raceway. Goes very well at course and distance boasting three wins. Tough to beat if on-song. WOLFMAN JACK (6) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fourth by 5 lengths (19.05). Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Can do much better this time. FRITILLARY (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Wide Boy (19.03) in a Class 3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Can measure up. PORTLAND ABIGAIL (5) has been freshened and can sneak into the frame on her best form. Runs this track very well.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning four on end before placing two back. Looks a strong winning hope.
