Manawatu Race 1

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU HODDY CHUR BRO - ANDY MCCOOK

Prize Money: $5,909

OPAWA STACY (7) scored two back then well held latest finishing a 11 length 8th at Manukau (31.30). Raced in the Auckland cup last start so forgive the effort. Excels over the staying journey and rates on top in this line up. ALL OVER ROVER (5) was below best last time at Wanganui (30.87) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 9 length eighth. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring three times. Suited here and expected to run well. FEAR TO TREAD (3) goes very well at the course with five wins and a placing from 12 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.49) when fourth over 520m at Wanganui in a Class 2/3. Should have enough early speed to settle more handy today. Looks one of the chances. THRILLING MUSE (2) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort. Beat a weaker field last start but ran through the line strongly.

Drawn the inside alley. Last start finished last on February 2 over 457m at this track behind Save Time beaten 2.5 lengths (26.32) in a Class 2/3. Forget the latest effort. Worth following up.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 457m at Cambridge Raceway in a handy (25.89), beating Save Time. In top form and can make it three straight.
