Manawatu Raceway Race 3

MICHAEL HOUSE STABLES HANDICAP TROT

Stake: $15,000

HIGHVIEW ROCKN ROLL (4) made it two wins from her last four outings a week ago, getting home by 4.5 metres over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. BOYZ INVASION (2) resumes here after closing his last campaign with a fifth at Kaikoura on November 3. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. COOL PHELAN (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2100m at Hawera last time out. Each way value from the perfect inside draw. KD ROYALTY (8) is having her first start on this deck and must be respected after scoring last start by half a metre at Addington over 1980m.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Conrad H at Hawera over 2100m on February 2 at $6.70. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr9) over 2100m at Hawera beaten 15 m by Aradne (2:50.40) on January 31 at $8.40. Should be right in the finish.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fifth behind What The Bell at Kaikoura over 2400m in a 4yo+ on November 3 at $6. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.4 m (FrU2) at Kaikoura (3:09.00) beating Murano in 3yo+ on October 29 2023 at $5.60. Capable of testing this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Quercus Rubra at this track over 2500m on February 23 at $12.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind King Of Diamonds at this track over 2500m on February 25 at $12.90. Progressing well. Top prospects.
