Manukau Race 7

TEN ACROSS SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

FOXTROT MILA (6) was out of the placings last time when eighth at this track (19.13) but scored four back at this track (18.95). Faces a significant drop in class today and looks the one to beat on her best form. EPIC IN TROUBLE (3) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 5.5 lengths into third (19.22) at this track in a Class 3 over 318m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Hard to beat again. WAITERIMU GEM (8) drew this same box last time when in the minors (18.94) in a Class 3 over 318m at this track. Worth following up from an ideal draw. FRITILLARY (7) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Good effort last time when second (19.05) over 318m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
