A REAL turn of pace is vital if you want to win sprints and that's exactly what Dandy Nicholls' Mandurah has.

Normally ridden close to the pace, he was given a stinker of a ride from a poor draw at Pontefract last time but is ideally drawn in trap five for today's 2.20pm at Chester.

Jockey Adrian Nicholls can bag a lead from Mr Wolf before coming with a late dash. Interestingly, this horse was withdrawn from a race at Great Leighs when he was drawn in the car park.

Connections clearly believe this one is a winner about to happen and 8-1 would be about the right price.
