Manawatu Race 4

THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD

Prize Money: $5,000

PURE PRECISION (5) is a promising type who notched her 6th career success when too good (29.98) at Wanganui last time. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Looks the one to beat despite a tricky draw. LIGHTING SPACE (3) hit the frame latest (17.58) when second at Wanganui Straight in a Class 3. Already a winner from this draw. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BIG TIME POPPY (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.50) at Wanganui behind Honky Tonk High in a Class 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Winning chance. DOUBLE PLEASE (6) is worth consideration. With a clean run should be hitting the line strongly.
