Palmerston North Race 8

Professional Concrete Services Ltd

Stake: $3,700

HONKY TONK HIGH (2) has placed at the last four runs since a win and still yet to miss the frame, the latest finishing second (26.16) at this track. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of his three starts. Expected to feature in the finish. BIG TIME BRICK (6) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths (25.94) behind Papa Kiwi at Cambridge Raceway. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in the finish again. SIMON TEMPLAR (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (26.26) in a Class 1 at this track. The form from his last run is proving to be solid. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. Something for the Multiples: OPAWA LOUISE (3)

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (26.16) at this track in a Class 1. Has first look at box 2 this time. Looks a leading chance.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing fifth (47.29) at Manukau before going for a six months spell. Looks a strong top-three chance.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 457m at this track. That followed a win two back in 26.24 beating Opawa Thunder over 457m at Cambridge Raceway. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (25.94) at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 1. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 457m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.
