Manukau Extra Race 2

MPS FENCING SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

PORTLAND AVATAR (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at Cambridge Raceway (21.92) when 7th and beaten 10 lengths. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including six wins. Rates on top in this line up. BOOM KIWI (3) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Class 2 at this track. Is usually a very quick beginner. Well placed here and should do much better. NORDIC DELIGHT (5) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 21.63 beating Brindle Boo. Has a strong record from this draw, notching three wins and five minor placings from eight starts. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. MADAM PHAEDRA (4) is not to be discarded. On occasions can ping the lids.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to post a big 3 lengths win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.63) beating Brindle Boo in Class 1/2 on April 9. Form from this draw is very strong, including three wins. Go well.

Was out of placings last time (21.92) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 3, finishing seventh and beaten 10 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Makes strong appeal.
