Manukau Race 9 - MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES
TURTLE WATCH (3) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (30.87) at this track in a Class 4/5 over 527m. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. PORTLAND FONZIE (5) has a strong record here with six wins and two placings from 12 starts. In the money last time at this track (30.90) in a Class 4/5, finishing a long neck second. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PORTLAND MAGNUM (4) was on speed settling but found some traffic when bumped, finishing sixth (31.99) at this track in a Class 5 H. Raced in a much stronger field last start and must be included in calculations. SCHMEICHEL (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently. Small field size will suit.
