Manawatu Extra Race 1

JOLT COFFEE HOUSE WANGANUI - MATT CROSS PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

I'VE GOT SWAGGER (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins and a placing from six tries. Below best last time at Wanganui (17.82) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Races against a slightly easier field today. Looks well placed and should feature. MY ANXIETY (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Wanganui following on from a second place finish (17.37) at Wanganui Straight the start prior. Worth following up. OPAWA RAISIN (5) turned in a moderate run last time when seventh at Cambridge Raceway over 375m behind Iris Haze (22.18) in a Class 3. Better than last start and can bounce back. Usually is a quick beginner from the boxes. SUNBIRD STRIKER (6) warrants respect following a recent placing from the same draw. Is never usually that far away in these races.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th on February 13 over 305m at Wanganui behind That's Contact beaten 5 lengths (18.27) in a Class 3. Placed two back at Wanganui Straight. Has a solid record from this box, including three wins. Top chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 3/4 on February 13 over 305m at Wanganui behind Jilliby Eaton beaten 3.5 lengths (17.82). Placed two back at Wanganui Straight. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Sure to go well.

Comments

Returns from a three months spell after being tipped out on the back of a fourth (21.56) over 375m at this track. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Ran last in a two dog trial (17.74) at Whanganui over 305m. Looks a significant danger.

Missed the frame latest (22.18) when seventh over 375m at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 3. Has two wins and seven placings from 14 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Good effort last time when second (18.04) over 305m at Wanganui. Top-three hope with the right run.
