Whanganui Straight Race 8

MOORE LAW WHANGANUI R/A 313M PBD

Stake: $4,800

LOVEABLE ROGUE (8) scored (17.01) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Has never been out of the money in 24 starts this course and distance. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Hard to go past. OPAWA SIMPSON (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at Manawatu in a handy 21.18 beating Big Time Lime. Can measure up again. STAR BOY EXPRESS (7) missed the frame latest (26.31) when fourth over 457m at Manawatu in a Class 4. Has already won seven times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up. BIG TIME ASHTON (2) placed last time (26.05) at Manawatu in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 0.6 lengths. Has already won three times from this draw.

Ran a better race when second behind Big Time Brave at Manawatu last start over 457m (26.05). Right in the mix.

Eye-catching performance to score by 1.1 lengths in a Class 4 last start at this track, clocking a solid 17.37 over the 313m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Finished third at big odds last time (17.38) over 313m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Prefer others.

Placed last time (26.14) at Manawatu in a Class 5, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Box stats strong with four wins and three placings from nine starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2.5 lengths at Manawatu over 375m (21.18) beating Big Time Lime in Class 5 on July 8. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Missed the frame latest (26.31) when fourth over 457m at Manawatu in a Class 4. Strong record off the draw with seven wins and seven minors from 17 starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.
