Manawatu Race 3

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI

Prize Money: $4,364

CROSSFIT QUEEN (4) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins and three placings. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (30.43) in a Class 2/3 last time at Wanganui. Meets an easier field today and appeals as a leading chance in this. FLASH INFERNO (3) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.53 beating I'm Fragile. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. GROOT'S GALAXY (5) latest effort finished 6th in a Class 2 on April 7 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Big Time Ashton beaten 5 lengths (17.51). Can feature in the finish. ALL OVER ROVER (7) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone. Recent racing over the staying journey and drops back to a middle distance today.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Wanganui over 520m in 30.43 last start, beating Highbury Heights. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Expected to go close.

Was out of placings last time (17.51) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 2, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2 lengths in a Class 1 last start at Wanganui Straight, recording a speedy 17.43 over the 313m journey. Struggles at this venue.

Was out of placings last time (39.40) at this track in a Class 2/3, finishing fourth and beaten 13 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Should be around the money.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Wanganui over 520m. Prefer in something easier.
