Manawatu Race 10

THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

IT'S A RUSE (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at Wanganui in a handy 17.79 beating Bora Bora. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. FLASH INFERNO (7) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Wanganui Straight but was a Class 1 winner two back at Wanganui Straight. Has the ability and expected to do much better. I'M FRAGILE (8) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from five tries. Was out of placings last time (21.80) at this track in a Class 3, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Does down grade in class and looks one of the chances. BIG TIME JUNE (2) scored last time and can measure up again despite stepping up in class.

Has finished sixth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 375m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
