7 My Mini Me
Ran down 3 Mojito Dreams over 457m on Tuesday. The shorter trip suits the latter better but not if he begins as poorly as last Friday. They should provide the quinella with 6 Don't Ask Charly the likely short-priced trifecta filler.
Selections: 7-3-6-4
3 Why A Rapper
Nearly got up from a wide draw last Friday & is better suited closer in.
Selections: 3-6-4-7
4 Not Okay
Has good early speed & is dropping back to a more suitable distance. Could challenge the favourite 5 Fergie's Girl who has been impressive but is jumping in class.
Selections: 4-5-7-8
6 Fear To Tread
The best dog in the field running out nominations in the grade. Multi-filler.
Selections: 6-7-2-3
4 Big Time Lime
Bit below par last Friday when beaten by race rival 8 Big Time Mahi. Can begin better than that & will need too. She's short enough given 3 Big Time Axel is running competitive times again too.
Selections: 4-3-8-7
5 Cliff Top Cutie
Not beginning as well as she was a month ago but she downgrades & should show up in this field.
Selections: 5-3-6-8
7 Bow Bell Beth
Recent downgrader returns to her favourite track in a fresh state & finds the right field.
Selections: 7-4-3-8
7 Big Time Brave
She is what's on the label & clung on tenaciously last Friday defeating tonight's biggest rival 5 Big Time Maestro. Being drawn outside the 6 dog swings it for Brave again.
Selections: 7-5-6-3
8 Big Time Tricky
Bold second when fresh-up at Manawatu & has been better on this track in the past. 5 Big Time Bullet has his confidence high again. Quaddie cover.
Selections: 8-5-9-6
6 Hawkes Bay Half
Handy hound on the rise. First 305m start but it looks like it should suit.
Selections: 6-4-3-2
6 Big Time Clarke
Had enough excuses to forgive his Manawatu miss which spoiled his formline. Good second here last Friday behind a dog that has won again since. Even affair as the market indicates.
Selections: 6-4-3-7
Best: Why A Rapper
Next: Not Okay
Value: Big Time Clarke
