Manukau Race 1

TAB DOG BONUS BACK SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $6,364

BIG TIME TELEA (4) is a sprinter who thrives over these shorter races. Scored over 313m at Wanganui Straight last time in a Class 3 (17.44). Form at the trip excellent including nine wins. The form from his last run stacks up well. Hard to fault his form and makes plenty of appeal again. FOXTROT MILA (6) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 318m. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from four starts. Expected to measure up again. DARK SMOKE (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.6 lengths at this track in a handy 18.73 beating FOXTROT MILA. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Leading player again. BIG TIME WALTER (3) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (21.42) in a Class 4 at Cambridge Raceway last time out.

Placed last time (17.85) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing second and beaten a neck. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks one of the chances.
