Manukau Race 4

LAST ONE STANDING SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,600

FOXTROT MILA (4) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and five placings from nine starts. Was out of the placings last time (18.84) at this track in a Class 2, finishing fourth and beaten 1.1 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. OPAWA BAIT (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (21.95) last time in a Class 2 at Cambridge Raceway. Has a good record here at this journey. Key runner on best form. WIDE BOY (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 1.5 lengths into second (21.57) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 2 over 375m. Overdue and expected to feature again. MY CRUSADER (5) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 2 on March 30 over 318m at this track behind Epic In Trouble beaten 1.1 lengths (18.84). Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Good effort to win last start by 1.75 lengths over 318m at this track in a handy (18.85), beating Idol Hit. Can make it back to back wins.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (18.87) over 318m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but in the mix on his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.13) in a Class 2, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and 11 places from 27 starts. Can feature with the right run.
