Manawatu Extra Race 2

NORTH ISLAND CHALLENGE STAKES INV - MARK ROSANOWSKI

Prize Money: $18,182

JERRY COLA (5) is in hot form with back to back wins at Addington, running a scintillating 16.55 two back following up with 16.74 last time. Is a champion greyhound who steps up to every challenge put in front of him. Is the one they all have to beat. MORE MAGIC (2) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including three wins and three placings. Scored by 5 lengths last time (30.06) in a Class 5 over 520m at Wanganui. Won against weaker fields last couple but wasn't at peak fitness. Can feature in the finish. ZESTFUL (4) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (30.48) behind Opawa Mark at Addington. Leading chance. NEED AN UBER (3) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage fourth (30.51) at Wanganui. Has a strong record from box 3, including two wins. Promising young dog who faces his biggest challenge today but is capable.

Good effort last time when second (30.42) over 520m at Wanganui. Drawn wide. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Placed last time (30.45) at Addington in a Class 4/5, finishing second and beaten half a length. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and five places from 11 starts. Will need the right run.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at Addington in 16.97 last time but the start prior clocked a slick 22.59 over 390m when narrowly beaten, at Ascot Park. Faces a stiffer test this time.
