Manukau Race 8

Mps Fencing Stakes Pbd

Prize Money: $3,425

OPAWA TREVOR (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 4.5 lengths away in second (30.78) at this track in a Class 1 over 527m. Has performed well from this box with a win and seven minor placings to his name from nine starts. Rates highly and will give a great sight. PORTLAND BEN (7) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from six starts. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (21.35) in a Class 1 last time at Cambridge Raceway. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. BIG TIME URBAN (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (38.80) last time in a Class 2/3 at Manawatu. Form at this distance is sound. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has ability and can measure up. AIN'T IT FUN (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Solid performance to win by 4.5 lengths at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.35) beating Omaticaya in Class 1 on June 27. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.22) in a Class 1, finishing a 10 length fifth. Has three wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Makes appeal on best.
