Manukau Race 10

HEWLETT ELECTRICAL SPRINT PBD

Stake: $4,000

WILD PANSY (7) was well off top last time, finishing 7th (19.05) in a Class 5 at this track. Has a strong winning record here at this journey including four wins. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. JUST ONE GRIN (4) shapes well for this after a scintillating last start success, getting around this track over 318m in 18.24. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. GO REUBEN (3) was a (17.04) winner last time out at Addington from Box 7. Yet to taste defeat from two runs out of this box. One of the key runners again. PORTLAND MARK (6) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.
