Manukau Race 10

HEWLETT ELECTRICAL SPRINT PBD

Stake: $4,000

WILD PANSY (8) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.7 lengths at this track in a handy 18.45, beating PORTLAND MARK. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Makes plenty of appeal if she runs up to the latest. JUST ONE GRIN (6) has been in the money at 11 of 33 starts, winning two back before another minor placings latest when third (18.74) over 318m at this track. Solid record here, winning 11 races. Has the ability and rates as a key chance in this lineup. HUNTER KAREN (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (18.66) last time out at this track. Form here is sound, including five wins. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading player again. PORTLAND MARK (7) placed out of the same box last time out - worth some thought.
