Whanganui Race 8

GREYHOUNDS MAKE GREAT PETS C4 520M

Stake: $5,100

BIG TIME FAVOUR (8) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3 lengths away in second (25.93) at Manawatu in a Class 4 over 457m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. ROCK IT RAPPER (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (38.69) at Manawatu behind Time To Race in a Class 0. Has the pace to be prominent. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and two minor placings from three starts. Leading chance. BIG TIME ZIP (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (26.63) from Box 4 at Manawatu over 457m. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. GOLDSTAR HOGAN (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (26.51) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 6 length sixth. Has two successes and five minors from 10 starts from box 5. Others appear better placed.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Manawatu over 660m in 38.23. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 457m at Manawatu at Class 3/4 level. Has run a slick time here with a 30.23 PB at the distance. Worth including.

Hit the frame at Manawatu last time when a 3 length second but did record a decent 25.93 over the 457m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.
