Whanganui Race 4

MOORE LAW WHANGANUI C3 520M

Stake: $4,800

BIG TIME BAM (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (26.62) at Manawatu. Has a good record at this journey. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from six starts. Has ability and can bounce back. CEPHALOPOD (3) is an honest type in the frame at nine of 20 starts including five wins, the latest scoring (26.08) over 457m at Manawatu. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. BRIGHTON WAVE (5) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Manawatu but was a Class 2/3 winner two back at Manawatu. Can feature with the right run. BIG TIME HILARY (7) is one of the chances after placing third last time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 305m at this track. Draws the cherry but has the job ahead.

Was out of placings last time (26.62) at Manawatu in a Class 2/3, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Manawatu over 457m (26.08) beating Big Time Super in Class 2/3 on May 6. Key chance on that latest effort.

Backs up after finishing on May 6 over 457m at Manawatu in a Class 2/3. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Class 2/3 on May 6 over 457m at Manawatu behind Cephalopod beaten 9 lengths (26.71). Has a slick 30.16 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Class 2/3 on May 6 over 457m at Manawatu behind Cephalopod beaten 1.5 lengths (26.19). Around the mark recently. Among the leading chances.
