Manawatu Race 10

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

MOJITO DREAMS (4) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, a nose from the winner Sleepless May (17.61) at Wanganui. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including five wins, from nine starts. Does meet a stronger field today but is still a leading chance again. SUNBIRD STRIKER (5) could manage only third at Wanganui last time but caught the eye when posting a powerful 17.13 over 313m at Wanganui Straight the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. LAST SAY (8) has a strong record this trip with four wins and six placings from 12 starts. Missed the frame latest (17.92) when sixth over 305m at Wanganui in a Class 5 H. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BIG TIME LONDON (2) will give backers a sight. Does drop in class and should be at peak fitness now.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (17.87) in a Class 5 H, finishing a 9 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting eight victories and six places from 25 starts. Can threaten.

Most recently finished last on April 2 over 375m at this track behind Hendrix Ruler beaten 8 lengths (21.46) in a Class 5. Has claims if at her best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Last start finished 2nd over 305m at Wanganui beaten a nose (17.61) behind Sleepless May in a Class 3 on April 10. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 20.95. Well placed and should feature.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Class 2/3 at Wanganui Straight and recording a powerful 17.13 over the 313m journey. Big chance to make amends.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (17.92) in a Class 5 H, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from eight starts. Looks suited and should go close.
