Manukau Race 4

LAST ONE STANDING SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

EPIC WILDMAN (2) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (21.27) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 4 over 375m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. WOLFMAN JACK (7) has a strong record here with seven wins and six placings from 21 starts. Missed the frame latest (19.18) when sixth over 318m at this track in a Class 4. Suited here and expected to run well. FOXTROT MILA (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (19.12) last time in a Class 4/5 at this track. Will strip fitter today after the fresh-up run. Shapes as one to consider. PORTLAND CHICA (3) was out of placings last time (19.03) at this track in a Class 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. A definite include.
