Manukau Extra Race 4

PRESIDENTS CUP

Prize Money: $9,091

PORTLAND FONZIE (3) boasts a strong record this course with 19 wins and two minors from 25 tries. Scored by 6 lengths last time (30.52) in a Class 4/5 over 527m at this track. Very professional dog in the top class over the middle distance. The one they all have to beat. OPAWA JIMMY (8) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 3.5 lengths (20.99) at Cambridge Raceway. Form should stack up again here. The main threat to the top pick. GO COOPER (6) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fifth (38.51) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 2/3. Drops back in distance today. Key player on best and worth another try. TURTLE WATCH (2) is back from a break and worth including. Include in exotic bets.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (31.02) over 527m at this track. Will need the right run.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (26.18) at big odds over 457m at Cambridge Raceway. One of the main chances.

Placed last time (17.23) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 1.1 lengths. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from eight starts. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.

Good performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (20.99) beating Portland Coco in Class 5 on July 23. Recorded the quickest time on the card last time. Expected to go close.
