Manukau Race 10

HIFI ALLEGRO SPRINT FEATURE HEAT 1 PBD

Prize Money: $5,364

HANZO RIVER (3) has a strong record this trip with 10 wins and five placings from 26 starts. Hit the frame latest (21.28) when third at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 5. Looks suited and should go close. PORTLAND MARK (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 60 times for 21 wins and 23 minors. Hit the frame latest (18.98) when third at this track in a Class 5. Among the main chances. HUNTER KAREN (5) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (19.29) in a Class 5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning 17 races. Expected to feature in the finish. FOXTROT MILA (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently. Biggest asset is her early box speed.

Placed last time (18.92) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from six starts from the draw. May find this a bit too tough.

Was out of placings last time (19.29) at this track in a Class 5, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting nine victories and 10 places from 31 starts. Key chance and should go close.

Safely held last time over 318m at this track but was a nose winner two back over 318m at this track. On best form is more than capable. Can measure up on best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 318m. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 5 on May 24 over 318m at this track behind Wu Tang beaten 7 lengths (18.98). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Likely to be in the finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.03) in a Class 5, finishing a 8 length fourth. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Makes appeal on best.
