Manawatu Race 3

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH

Prize Money: $4,091

MORE AIRFLOW (5) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his quick win the start prior, getting around Wanganui over 305m in 17.67. Has come back stronger this preparation. Hard to top on the time from two back. MAILMAN'S COMING (7) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 11 from 19 starts. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (17.62) at Wanganui Straight. Expected to be in the finish again. CROSSFIT QUEEN (4) quickly into stride and found the front, leading until late when third (30.47) at Wanganui in a Class 1 over 520m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. The drop in distance today should be ideal. Expected to feature again. SMALL TOWN BOY (6) doesn't run this track the best but was a dominate winner last start and cannot be underestimated.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 6th over 520m at Wanganui. Prefer in something easier.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last four starts, the latest when third (30.47) at Wanganui. Drawn awkwardly. Decent recent form so demands respect.

Placed last time (17.72) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 1, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Has never missed the placings from four starts off this box. Well placed here and gets chance to bounce back.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 313m at Wanganui Straight in a handy (17.72), beating Goldstar Colson. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 313m at Wanganui Straight beaten one length (17.62) behind Bow Belle Beth in a Class 1 on March 24. Has an exceptional 25.72 best time at this course and distance. Looks all set to find the winners' list.
