Manawatu Race 11

GREATMATES GREYHOUND REHOMING

Prize Money: $6,091

NEED AN UBER (3) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Scored by 2 lengths last time (17.26) in a Class 5 over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Beat a strong dog last start and rates a leading player. MY MINI ME (5) struggled to get involved last start at Wanganui Straight, but prior to that won by 2 lengths at Wanganui Straight (17.27) beating Hawkes Bay Half in a Class 5 H on March 17. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Missed the jump last start but as a rule is usually a quick beginner. Worth following up. RUN THE GAUNTLET (8) was sixth in a Class 5 H two back then found trouble in the run and took a tumble at Wanganui Straight last time. No luck latest and can bounce back. PUMBAA AND TIMON (7) form at this distance reads well. Is always slow to jump but does have a powerful finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Prepared to just watch this time.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2 lengths in a Class 5 last start at Wanganui Straight, recording an exceptional 17.26 over the 313m journey. Major player.

Finished eighth last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 5 H at Wanganui Straight and recording an outstanding 17.27 over the 313m journey. Looks a key chance.

Hit the frame at Wanganui Straight last time when a 0.8 lengths third but did record a decent 17.39 over the 313m journey. Others favoured this time.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (30.60) over 520m at Wanganui. Capable of taking this out.

Failed to finish the race over 520m at Wanganui last start. Prior to that was beaten 6 lengths over 313m at Wanganui Straight in a Class 5 H. Not far away last start. Well placed and among the chances here.
