Manukau Race 6

SUBIC BAY SPRINT HEAT 1 PBD

Stake: $3,500

WOLFMAN JACK (8) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at this track (18.78) in a Class 3, finishing a 1.4 lengths second. Rates on top and should go close. ACES (5) jumped from this box and scored in quick time latest (21.45) at Cambridge Raceway over 375m in a Class 2. Harder here but expected to feature again. EVENING OUT (7) faces a drop in class today and is likely to have admirers.
