Whanganui Race 10

BALDRICKS CUNNING PLAN C3 305M PBD

Stake: $2,800

WRIT LARGE (3) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (21.28) at Manawatu in a Class 2/3 over 375m. Got the money at her only try from this box. Expected to be right there at the finish again. BIG TIME ORSON (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (18.32) from Box 2 at this track over 305m. Should be in this for a long way. BIG TIME DORA (7) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.5 lengths at Manawatu in a handy 21.33, beating BIG TIME REDEEM. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading chance again. OPAWA JASON (6) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Class 2/3 last start at Manawatu, clocking an excellent 21.28 for the 375m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.
