Manawatu Race 6

THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD

Prize Money: $5,818

BEAM (4) was below best at his last start when 6th at Addington following a second place finish (30.64) there two back. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Ready to return to form despite a tricky draw. CROSSFIT QUEEN (2) has a strong overall record having six wins and 14 places from 28 starts including a last start third (30.43) over 520m at Whanganui. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. RATHER CONVINCED (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.36) at Whanganui behind Positive Penny in a Class 2/3. Has the pace to be prominent. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expecting another good run. FEAR TO TREAD (8) is always hard to beat when she races here at this trip. Should be much improved after fresh-up run last time.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th over 525m at Addington beaten 9 lengths (31.19) behind Minnie Angel in a Class 3 on June 11. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 4, scoring two times. Deserves another chance.

In the money last time at Whanganui Straight (17.56) in a Class 3, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Didn't make the placings last time at Whanganui (30.81) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 6 length eighth. Yet to miss the placings in seven runs from this box, including two wins. Second up record is strong and and has winning claims.
