Manawatu Race 8

CAROL MORRIS MEMORIAL PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

SHIM (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a head (21.54) behind Queen Of Nile at Cambridge Raceway. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Meets a slightly easier field today and can go on with it. HANOI (5) showed good early speed and led throughout to score at big odds last time when a 2.5 lengths winner at this track over 375m (21.44). Solid record at the distance winning four races. Recently had a solo trial (17.78) at Wanganui straight track over 313m. Deserves serious consideration again. I'VE GOT SWAGGER (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (21.77) in a Class 4 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. THAT'S CONTACT (6) is a last-start placegetter worth considering. Odds will be appealing.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui over 305m. Last start finished 4th on July 17 over 375m at this track behind We Ride beaten 7 lengths (21.77) in a Class 4. Rates highly on best form. Looks suited and should go close.
