Manawatu Race 3

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH PBD

Prize Money: $2,727

FIRE WARNING (3) was long overdue for a win after a couple of nice placings before a deserved win (21.33) last time at Cambridge Raceway. Tends to go well on this box draw. Has the ability and expected to prove tough to beat again. BIG TIME REDEEM (6) was unfavoured last start but gave a huge sight when led for much of the way to place (21.52) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1/2 over 375m. Bold showing expected. DON'T ASK CHARLY (4) recorded her 2nd career win last time at this track, scoring by 1.4 lengths (21.67). Hard to fault her recent form and although stepping up in class today can win again. BIG TIME VITARA (5) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish. Usually shows good box manners.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Hard to recommend this time.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 375m at Cambridge Raceway by 2.5 lengths in a Class 1. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Hard to fault and likely to feature again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 2.5 lengths (21.65) behind Boston Junior in a Class 1/2 on August 14. Has been around the mark of late. Must respect.
