Whanganui Race 2

LANCE GREEN ACCOUNTANT C1 520M

Stake: $4,100

SWEET AND SASSY (4) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (30.84) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. One of the contenders. NOT OKAY (7) is progressing well claiming his 2nd career win latest, scoring by 0.9 lengths (17.71) at Wanganui Straight. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. HEY IT'S FRANK (2) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.92). Worth another chance. AMELIA ATE IT (8) has strong credentials from this draw and has each-way claims.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.88) over 520m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and needs to bounce back.
