Manawatu Race 1

WELCOME TO MANAWATU RACEWAY

Prize Money: $5,909

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (7) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including 15 wins and four placings. Placed last time (44.92) at Wanganui in a Class 2/3 FIN, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Is the class stayer of the field and should be winning. BIG TIME ZIP (5) continues to race well but is struggling to break through, placing at her last six runs. Last start finished 2nd over 755m at Wanganui beaten 2.25 lengths (44.79) behind Chief Dribble in a Class 2/3 FIN on April 17. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Overdue and is among the main hopes. LONG NON WHITE (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Placed last time (44.79) at Wanganui in a Class 2/3 FIN, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 5. No easier here but a solid top three hope.
