Manawatu Race 12

GREATMATES GREYHOUND REHOMING PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

THAT'S THAT (8) was in the placings last time but prior to that ran a dazzling 17.23 win over 305m at Wanganui. Expected to push the clock again here. HENDRIX RULER (5) has a strong record this track and trip with eight wins and 10 placings from 21 starts. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (20.85) in a Class 5 over 375m at this track. Looks one of the chances. JEDDY SPAGHETTI (7) is a quick dog who thrives over the short dashes. Last start placegetter over 305m at Wanganui in a Class 5 (17.77). Has a strong winning record at this journey including three wins. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Bold showing expected. OPAWA SIMPSON (3) scored by 0.6 lengths last time (17.15) in a Class 5 over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Has already won six times from this draw. Very hard to run down when in front.

Finished fourth last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by a neck in a Class 5 FIN at Wanganui and clocking an outstanding 17.39 for the 305m trip. Others preferred on this occasion.

Strong performance to win by 0.6 lengths at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.15) beating Need An Uber in Class 5 on April 21. Was in the money three on end before breaking through at the latest run. Worth following up.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a useful 17.69 over 305m when edged out, at Wanganui. Looks a place chance at best.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui over 305m. Last start finished 2nd over 305m at Wanganui beaten a neck (17.41) behind Hawkes Bay Half in a Class 5 FIN on April 17. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 8, scoring 11 times. Looks suited and should go close.
