Manukau Race 10

THE MEAT WAREHOUSE SPRINT PBD

Stake: $4,400

QUINTESSENTIAL (4) has a terrific record here with 11 wins and seven placings from 18 starts. Hit the frame latest (18.80) when third at this track in a Class 5. Rates on top and should go close. ALDEBARAN (8) slotted in just off the lead from the wide box before lifting strongly to score (18.47) at this track in a Class 5 over 318m. Form should stack up. PORTLAND MARK (7) goes very well here starting 33 times for 13 wins and 11 minors. Placed last time (18.65) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. KIWI SEA (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at Cambridge Raceway. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.4 lengths at this track over 318m (18.70) beating Foxtrot Mila in Class 4 on August 10. Happy enough to avoid.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (21.54) over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks safely held.

Latest effort finished 2nd on August 10 over 318m at this track behind Aldebaran beaten 2.5 lengths (18.65) in a Class 5. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (31.09) over 527m at this track. Capable of a better result.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
