Whanganui Race 8

ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE C1/2 305M PBD

Stake: $3,000

BIG TIME IGGY (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.02) in a Class 2 at Manawatu. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Can make amends. HURRY HIGGINS (7) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (17.85) at this track. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Bold showing expected. HEY IT'S FRANK (6) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.72). The form out of last race has been strong. Cannot be taken lightly. CLIFF TOP BANGER (4) is a last-start placegetter when not fancied in the market - in the mix again.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished sixth over 520m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Can't recommend against this lot.

Was out of placings last time (22.02) at Manawatu in a Class 2, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Key chance and should go close.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Class 1/2 on August 1 over 305m at this track behind Hawkes Bay Half beaten 6 lengths (18.15). Placed two back at this track. Has ability and worth including.
