Manawatu Raceway Race 3

DUNSTAN HORSEFEEDS SUPPORTS NI BREEDERS MBL PACE

Prize Money: -

CRIPPA MAX (9) hasn't raced for eight weeks but is showing plenty of promise. Won on debut at Cambridge then drew wide last start and wasn't too far off the placegetters at Alexandra Park. Draws on the second line but expect he'll be too good for these. BELL FIRE (8) didn't have a lot go to plan when midfield last start but did a good job to win at this circuit and distance prior. Capable of playing a major role. BENSON DUDE (3) draws better than last time and had recorded back-to-back placings here prior. RUN MASON RUN (7) draws wide so may need some luck but has been solid of late.
