Manawatu Race 6

PROFESSIONAL CONCRETE SERVICES LTD PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

MAPLE LEAF (3) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when second (21.69) at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Capable of going well again. BIG TIME IGGY (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (17.48) at Wanganui Straight. Has ability and can measure up. BIG TIME MARIAH (7) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (17.26) at Wanganui Straight behind Big Time Ashton in a Class 2. Must be included in calculations. BIG TIME PARIS (2) will give backers a sight. Meets an even field today.

Good effort to win last start by 0.9 lengths over 375m at this track in a handy (21.61), beating Pluto's Planet. Worth following up.

Improved sharply when second behind Big Time Ashton at Wanganui Straight last start over 313m (17.26). Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (17.82) in a Class 3, finishing a 3 length fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Drops down in class and has place claims.
