Whanganui Straight Race 5

BETCHA BOX 4 C4/5 313M PBD

Stake: $4,000

LOVEABLE ROGUE (8) has a terrific record here with nine wins and seven placings from 16 starts. Recorded a long neck win (17.16) in a Class 4/5 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. NEED A FAVOUR (3) goes very well this trip starting six times for two wins and three minors. Comes off a (25.84) win last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Class 5 over 457m at Manawatu. Looks well placed here and among the chances. FOOL ME ONCE (2) could manage only third at this track last time but impressed when posting a head turning 17.06 over 313m at this track three starts ago. Must include on winning run three back. BIG TIME BAM (5) finished a solid fourth last start and should be thereabouts.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Manawatu over 457m in 25.84 last start, beating Zestful. Has an exceptional 17.12 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 375m at Cambridge Raceway. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Strong performance to score by a long neck in a Class 4/5 last start at this track, recording a superb 17.16 over the 313m journey. In form and looks tough to beat again.
