Manawatu Race 10

ACCELL THERAPY NZ

Prize Money: $5,364

BIG TIME MAESTRO (2) is a last start Class 3/4 winner, jumping from this box and scoring a 2.5 lengths win over 457m at this track. Goes very well from this same draw winning three races. Did jump the boxes very quickly last start. Key chance again here with a similar beginning. HIGHBURY HEIGHTS (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.52) at Wanganui Straight behind Torque In Torque in a Class 2/3. Expected to be in the finish again. PUMBAA AND TIMON (3) is mixing form, missing the placings latest but was a winner three back and returns to 457m this time where he has performed well. Needs luck in running but does have a powerful finish. Can improve sharply here. SAVE TIME (7) is one of the chances after a minor prize from this draw last time. Has reliable box manners.

Was out of placings last time (17.86) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 4, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has the ability and right in the mix.
