Manawatu Race 3

ACCELL THERAPY NZ

Prize Money: $4,091

MORE AIRFLOW (2) three runs back clocked a handy 17.67 win over 305m at Wanganui then has found the minor money in two runs since. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. MAILMAN'S COMING (6) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (26.42) in a Class 1 at this track last time out. Key player on best and worth another try. FLASH INFERNO (1) jumps from the inside draw. Latest effort finished 4th over 457m at this track beaten 7 lengths (26.17) behind Child Prodigy in a Class 2 on March 27. Does drop down in class and can feature in the finish. THRILLING GORDON (8) is a last start winner who can measure up again. Maintains a solid gallop to the line over this distance.

Last start finished 4th over 457m at this track beaten 7 lengths (26.17) behind Child Prodigy in a Class 2 on March 27. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 1.2 lengths second but did record a decent 25.85 over the 457m journey. Big chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui Straight (17.83) in a Class 1, finishing a 1.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from five starts. Among the main chances.

Good performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.76) beating Goldstar Olivia in Class 1 on March 30. Solid chance with even luck.
