Manawatu Extra Race 5

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS CHRISTCHURCH - ANDY MCCOOK PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

PAW XIAN (7) is a promising dog in the frame at 15 of 35 starts including 12 wins and was in the minors again latest (16.97) over 295m at Addington. Having first start on this track. Boxed wide but will go close with the right run. FIRE WARNING (3) boasts a consistent overall record including 13 wins from 32 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (17.63) over 305m at Wanganui. Form here at this distance is sound. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. JEDDY SPAGHETTI (8) racing well without winning, placing at his last six runs. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 5 on February 10 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Loveable Rogue beaten 6 lengths (17.39). Not the quickest out of the lids but is powerful to the line. Overdue and is among the main hopes. HEART FELT (5) is a course and distance winner who is right in the equation. Steps up in class but won well last start.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 20.99 last start, beating Big Time Chur. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 5, scoring three times. Key chance again.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (21.48) beating Opawa Jordan in a Class 4 on February 2. Happy to risk this time.

Racing consistently with six top-three finishes in a row. Excels at this distance. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 5 on February 10 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Loveable Rogue beaten 6 lengths (17.39). Excellent record from this box, including three wins. Racing well and is the one to beat.
