Manawatu Race 4

Palmerstonian Prelude Mobile Pace

Prize Money: $13,636

RED RACKHAM (7) produced another strong effort when he came from this same barrier to score at this circuit and distance on Tuesday, coming in 3.5 metres ahead of his rivals. Big chance to back that up. BAD MEDICINE (6) made it back-to-back placings when he registered a strong performance on Tuesday, chasing strongly for third. Yet to miss a place at this circuit and distance. Could go one better. FRANCO HOFFMAN (5) is another on a quick back up and is worth plenty of thought off his win from a similar barrier on Tuesday. ROUGH AND READY (2) owns a decent record here and is in the mix from the low draw.

Backs up 2 days after failing to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 2000m at this track, beaten 20 m by Red Rackham (2:26.20) in 3yo+ on November 19 at $5.50. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 3 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:26.80) beating Bad Medicine in 3yo+ on November 4 at $3.10. Can play a role in the finish.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Gotta Elect Bill at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on November 4 at $3.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Red Rackham at this track over 2000m in a 3yo+ on November 19 at $7. Top chance.
