Manawatu Raceway Race 2

BRYANT-WALKER MOBILE PACE

Stake: $11,000

BET ON POLLY (6) was in the money two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 2000m at this track, finishing 1.1 metres from the winner in third. Won't find this any harder and she can earn that well-deserved win. BELL FIRE (2) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at this track over 2000m. Expecting a very good run. RUTHERFORD (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2000m at Hawera last time out. Place claims from the perfect inside draw. SCOTT (3) ended last prep with an eighth at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m four-and-a-half months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.
