Manukau Race 9

HEWLETT ELECTRICAL SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

PORTLAND MARK (8) goes very well this course and distance, starting 29 times for 12 wins and nine minors. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (18.37) in a Class 5 last time at this track. Rates a leading player. FOXTROT MILA (6) has a strong overall record, having six wins and 11 places from 22 starts, but was out of the money last time when sixth (19.20) over 318m at this track. Best form is too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. BIG TIME WALTER (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (21.81) in a Class 5 FIN at Cambridge Raceway last time out. Expected to bounce back to his best. KIWI MOMENTS (4) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.

Was out of placings last time (19.20) at this track in a Class 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Has never missed the placings from six starts off this box. Gets chance to atone.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 318m at this track in a handy (18.59), beating Apache Blyde. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 5.5 lengths in a Class 5 last start at this track, clocking a hot 18.37 for the 318m trip. In hot form and can take this out.
