Manukau Race 7

GIVE US A GO SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

WILD PANSY (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 24 times for eight wins and five minors. Was out of the placings last time (19.22) at this track in a Class 4, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Has beaten better fields in the past and should go close. DARK SMOKE (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 318m (18.95). Should show enough early box speed to cross from out wide. Can do much better this time. HUNTER LOU (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (18.98) at this track behind Foxtrot Mila in a Class 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in the finish again. DYNAMIC KIWI (4) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered. Is a reliable beginner.

Last appeared when fifth over 318m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Has had a solo trial (18.71) here over 318m. Looks to be a solid top-three chance.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth (22.06) in a CL 4 at Cambridge Raceway. Ran a solo trial (18.60) here over this distance. Makes return after a three months break. Might need the run.
