Manawatu Race 7

THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD

Prize Money: $4,091

TEARS FLOWING (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 2.75 lengths win at Addington in a handy 30.55. Fair draw can see a good run and has the ability and in winning form. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Form reads well for this. AVATAR SPEED (7) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (18.06) in a Class 0 at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Recently won a four dog trial (25.90) on this track over 457m. One of the better chances. SLEEP TIGHT (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (30.96) last time in a Class 1 FIN at Addington. Is having first run at this venue. A big run wouldn't surprise. PUMBAA AND TIMON (4) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought. Average beginner but with a clear run will be hitting the line strongly.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last five starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 313m at Wanganui Straight beaten 1.4 lengths (17.72) behind Forever A Fairy in a Class 1 on January 27. Solid chance with even luck.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 525m at Addington by 2.75 lengths in a Class 1 FIN. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when seventh at Wanganui. Form solid prior to that including a win at Wanganui Straight three back. Among the chances on best.
