Manawatu Race 1

GET READY COMMENTATORS DAY 17TH FEB PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

TENSION (7) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage second (17.88) at Wanganui. Has plenty of upside and will only get better with more race experience. Leading chance again. FOREVER A FAIRY (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.4 lengths win at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.62. Outside box to overcome but has the ability and in winning form. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Remains in the same grade and can measure up again. BIG TIME IGGY (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 2.25 lengths at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.53 beating Sugar Sugar. Has a tricky draw to overcome but in form and has the ability. Keep safe. BIG TIME BATTLE (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can bounce back. Getting on in years but has the most experience in this field.
