Manawatu Race 5

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH PBD

Prize Money: $2,727

MAPLE LEAF (6) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last four runs. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 1/2 on November 28 over 305m at Wanganui behind Mojito Dreams beaten 5 lengths (17.79). Solid formlines coming through her last run. One of the leading chances. DON'T ASK CHARLY (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (21.84) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Form from her last run is proving strong. A big run wouldn't surprise. BARRY BOWLER (4) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (21.42) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Great chance to atone in such a small field. BIG TIME TRICKY (7) missed the frame latest (18.38) when sixth over 305m at Wanganui in a Class 3. Has two wins already from this draw. Drops in grade so keep safe.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 305m at Wanganui. Can't recommend against this lot.

In the money last time at Wanganui (17.79) in a Class 1/2, finishing a 5 length third. Has two successes and five minors from 10 starts from box 6. Looks a key chance.
