Manawatu Race 9

MOORE LAW PALMERSTON NORTH PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

TO BE WILD (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (17.93) last time in a Class 4/5 at Wanganui. Faces a significant drop in class today. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. FOREVER A FAIRY (8) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (21.58) at this track in a Class 2. Gets an ideal draw and can hit the frame this time. BACARDI NIGHT (2) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (21.42) at this track in a Class 2 over 375m. One of the leading chances again. BIG TIME BRAVE (6) warrants respect following a recent placing. Is usually a very speedy beginner from the lids.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 21.42 last start, beating Big Time Fern. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Latest effort finished last on May 1 over 305m at Wanganui behind Master Woods beaten 6 lengths (17.93) in a Class 4/5. Expected to bounce right back. Rates highly on best form.

Went down narrowly in a Class 3 at this track latest when a nose second but did record a handy 21.42 over the 375m journey. Definite contender.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length seventh (18.35) at Wanganui. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Capable of much better. Racing well and has to be included.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui (18.49) in a Class 3, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has two successes and eight minors from 12 starts from box 8. Key chance and should go close.
