Manawatu Race 7

OUTBACK TRADING COMPANY PBD

Prize Money: $4,091

LITTLE HARPER (2) is a smart dog who pinged the lids and cleared the pack early, leading throughout to win (17.79) at Wanganui in Class 2 over 305m. Superior out of the boxes and will be in the firing line early. Great chance again. HOT LEAGUE (6) drew this same box last time when in the minors (18.11) in a Class 2 over 305m at Wanganui. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BIG TIME NICO (7) finds it hard to win. Finished third (17.66) at Wanganui Straight latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Must be included in calculations. MY OWN WORLD (8) is right in the mix. Odds will be appealing.

Solid performance to post a big 4 lengths win at Wanganui over 305m (17.79) beating Big Time Battle in Class 2 on July 3. In-form and measures right up. Looks the one to beat.

Has finished seventh at her last couple of starts, most recently at Wanganui over 305m. Needs it easier.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Prepared to just watch this time.

Was out of placings last time (18.17) at Wanganui in a Class 2, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and seven places from 17 starts. Others rate better this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Wanganui over 305m in 17.93. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 305m at Wanganui at Class 2 level. Not far away last start. Solid claims this line-up.
