Manawatu Extra Race 4

PROFESSIONAL CONCRETE SERVICES LTD

Prize Money: $6,455

CLASSY HUNTER (7) is an honest type in the frame at 11 of 25 starts including last time when second (26.27) over 457m at Ascot Park. Performs well off this draw. Will be better for having had a look at this course previously. Drawn out but with clear running expected to go close. GROOT'S GALAXY (4) turned in a solid run last start over 520m at Whanganui finishing 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (30.46). Has a good record here at this journey. Shapes as one to consider. THRILLING SAMMY (3) finished fourth last time but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 457m at this track, taking a Class 3 in a fast 26.02. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. BIG TIME TAMA (2) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts. Always a must to include in multiple bets.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (30.42) over 520m at Whanganui. Drawn close to the inside. Capable of playing a big role.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (26.01) at Cambridge Raceway. Looks suited and should go close.

Last start finished 4th over 520m at Whanganui beaten 4 lengths (30.46) behind Run The Gauntlet in a Class 4/5 on May 22. Should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (30.78) when fifth over 525m at Addington in a Class 4. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looking elsewhere this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Addington over 525m. Last start finished 2nd on May 20 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Yuki beaten 5.5 lengths (26.27) in a Class 3/4. Most reliable when jumping from this draw. Looks hard to beat here.
