Invercargill Race 8

TOP CLASS DASH PBD

Stake: $4,800

PAW MAVEN (4) had been racing well with a Class 4 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Manukau. Raced in a top field last start up north and wasn't disgraced. Will appreciate a return to this venue and against this field. SMOKING IVAN (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th at Manukau. Form here at this distance is sound. Usually a quick beginner and is hard to pass when on the lure. Can do much better this time. DIAMOND PRINCE (5) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.66) at this track and bringing up his 6th career win. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Rises in quality today but is still a significant danger. PAW XIAN (6) was below best last time at Manukau (19.11) in a Invitations, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has already won five times from this draw and never been out of the money on this track.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fourth in over 318m at Manukau. Top chance.

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when he was an eye-catching winner scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Class 4 at Addington and clocking an excellent 17.05 for the 295m trip. Prepared to overlook.
