Manukau Race 11

SIMPLE AND PLAIN SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

PORTLAND SASHA (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Cambridge Raceway following on from a third place finish (19.43) at this track the start prior. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SCOTCH (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 3rd at this track over 318m. Should be nearing peak fitness now and can feature again. BABY SASS (6) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Indigo Shade (19.13) in a Class 1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. AFFECTIONATELY (4) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 318m at this track. Hard to entertain this time.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 8 lengths behind Wow She's Slow over 318m. Hard to recommend this time.

Was out of placings last time (19.44) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Last start finished last over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 9 lengths (22.38) behind Hillbilly Heist in a Class 1/2 on May 7. Expected to bounce right back. Well placed and should feature.
