Manawatu Race 3

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

SO LONG FAREWELL (7) is a promising type who notched her 3rd career success when too good (17.46) at Whanganui Straight last time. Has won two of three starts from this draw. Should be further improved after fresh up run. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. PLUTO'S PLANET (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 375m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Should be in this for a long way. JUST ALBIE (8) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.04) in a Class 1 at this track. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expected to be in the finish again. LET'S GO PIPPA (4) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Strong performance to win by 0.7 lengths at this track over 375m (21.68) beating Hot League in Class 1 on May 5. Can make it back to back wins.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.7 lengths at Whanganui (18.14) beating Grasscutter Neil in a Class 0 on June 5. Should show more than the latest offering. Can threaten.

Finished third last time (18.08) over 305m at Whanganui. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Eye-catching performance to score by 3 lengths in a Class 1 last start at Whanganui Straight, clocking a solid 17.33 over the 313m trip. Can go well again with the right run.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.46) beating Wild Ones in Class 1 on June 16. Looks to be back in fine fettle. Back in top order and looks the one to beat.
