Manawatu Race 9

PAUL CLARIDGE ELECTRICAL

Prize Money: $6,455

NEED AN UBER (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.50) over 520m at Wanganui from Box 5. Has won two of five starts from this draw. Faces a drop down in class today and is ready to return to form. MORE AIRFLOW (5) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage third (26.13) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Leading chance. DOUBLE PLEASE (6) form slipped last start when he finished 5th over 457m at this track beaten 6 lengths (26.20) in a Class 4/5 on May 5. In the mix.

Last start finished 4th on May 1 over 520m at Wanganui behind Pure Precision beaten 7 lengths (30.50) in a Class 5. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Makes strong appeal.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (26.04) over 457m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Hard to have this time.
