Manukau Race 6

GLENNIS FARRELL PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

PORTLAND MAGNUM (6) has missed the frame at his last couple but did finish in the minors in quick time three back (31.03) at this track in a Class 4/5. Meets a slightly easier field today and can make amends this time. PAPA KIWI (3) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 5th at Cambridge Raceway (21.88). Will appreciate a return to this venue and can measure up this time. BABY SASS (4) ran below best last time finishing fourth (19.02) over 318m at this track in a Class 4. Form here at this distance is sound. Does drift wide on the first bend but has to be in the mix. FOXTROT MILA (5) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around. Has the early box speed to avoid trouble from the squeeze box.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 5th on July 16 over 375m at Cambridge Raceway behind Portland Kruger beaten 6 lengths (21.88) in a Class 4. Looks a key chance.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when fourth (19.02) at this track. Makes strong appeal.

Has been racing in the top class most recently. Meets a weaker field today and is much better than recent form suggests. Looks a major threat today.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 318m in 18.69. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 318m at this track at Class 4 level. Can bounce back. Has claims on best form.
