Manawatu Race 1

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH

Prize Money: $5,909

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (5) missed the frame two back but wound up strongly last time, finishing on late when third (42.13) in a INVdf at this track. Goes very well here at the trip finding the frame in each of 15 starts. Is the class dog of the field that ran on very strongly over the extreme distance last start. Must come into calculations. FEAR TO TREAD (7) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins and two placings. Comes off a (38.36) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 1/2 over 660m at this track. Predicted to show early pace and lead them for a long way. LONG NON WHITE (4) ran a good time (38.77) when placing three back at Cambridge Raceway but has missed the frame since, last time out finishing fourth (38.68) at Cambridge Raceway. Has had a solo trial (18.04) over 305m at Whanganui to help fitness levels. ALL OVER ROVER (3) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back. Steps up from a middle distance to a staying journey

Closed last campaign finishing fourth at Cambridge Raceway over 650m four months ago. Did have a solo trial (18.04) at Whanganui over 305m. Worth including among the chances.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2 lengths in a Class 1/2 last start at this track, clocking a slick 38.36 over the 660m trip. Top chance again.
