Manawatu Race 2

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA EVANS (4) was strongly supported last start when a short-priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 3.5 lengths at Addington in a handy 17.07. Jumping from the pinch draw, but in form and has the ability. Is yet to taste defeat in two starts from this draw. Great chance again. BIG TIME PARIS (2) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (18.55) last time in a Class 3 at Wanganui. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Expected to give a good account. BIG TIME MEGHAN (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with 15 wins and 10 minors from 42 tries. Comes off an (18.01) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Class 3 over 305m at Wanganui. Looks well placed here and among the chances. OPAWA BAMBRY (5) cannot be ruled out in an even lineup.

Comments

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Class 3 on May 16 over 305m at Wanganui behind Big Time Meghan beaten 5.5 lengths (18.40). Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Addington (17.07) beating What Potential in a Class 3 on May 15. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Sure to go well.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Addington over 295m in 17.20. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 295m at Addington at Class 3 level. Racing well and has to be included.

Good effort to win last start by 4 lengths over 305m at Wanganui in a handy (18.01), beating Big Time Battle. Has ability and can run well.
