Manawatu Race 12

GREATMATES GREYHOUND REHOMING PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

TUAHIWI (3) is a quick dog who thrives over the short dashes. Was in the money last time (17.15) over 295m at Addington in a Class 2. Strike rate this distance strong having won two of four tries. Should be much better for having had a look at this track prior. Likely to feature again. SUNBIRD STRIKER (4) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from six starts. Was out of placings last time (17.60) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 2/3, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. FOREVER A FAIRY (7) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but prior to that produced a slick 17.43 win over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Has the ability and looks a key chance. DON'T ASK CHARLY (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out. Odds will be lucrative.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Class 2 at Ascot Park and clocking a hot 22.18 for the 390m trip. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui Straight (17.60) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 4 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Hard to beat with even luck.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at Wanganui over 305m. Better off looking to others.

Won two starts back at Wanganui Straight over 313m in 17.43. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 375m at this track at Class 3 level. Solid claims this line-up.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.83) in a Class 3, finishing a 9 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and 17 places from 39 starts. Others appear better placed.
