Manawatu Extra Race 5

RACING HERE AGAIN FRIDAY 8TH MAY PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

HENDRIX RULER (3) was in the placings last time but prior to that he clocked an exceptional 21.21 win over 375m at this track. Is always very competitive and can measure up again if he runs up to recent best times. JEDDY SPAGHETTI (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at this track following on from a second place finish (17.77) at Wanganui the start prior. Doesn't jump quickly but maintains a solid gallop to the line over this distance. Worth another chance. SUNBIRD STRIKER (4) goes very well at the distance with four wins and a placing from nine starts. Below best last time at Wanganui (18.25) in a Class 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Suited here and expected to run well. THAT'S CONTACT (5) must be respected at her pet distance. Odds will be appealing.

Backs up after finishing 5th on May 1 over 305m at Wanganui in a Class 5. Likely to struggle this time.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by a head in a Class 5 at this track and clocking an excellent 21.21 for the 375m trip. Leading player.

Won two starts back at Wanganui Straight over 313m in 17.53. Followed that up with a minor placing over 313m at Wanganui Straight at Class 3/4 eight days ago. Coming out of a very strong form race. Has claims on best.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (21.43) in a Class 5, finishing a 3 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and 12 places from 17 starts. Key chance and should go close.
