Palmerston North Race 1

MOORE LAW PALMERSTON NORTH

Stake: $5,900

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (5) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. In the money last time at this track (38.39) in a Class 1/2, finishing a 1.1 lengths second. Looks suited and should go close. CHARLEY HORSE (7) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and four minors from nine tries. Below best last time at this track (38.76) in a Class 1/2, finishing a 6 length fifth. Looks suited here and can measure up. LONG NON WHITE (8) can keep on winning after solid last start success, claiming a Class 1/2 at this track over 660m in 38.31. Harder here but expected to feature again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (38.48) over 660m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fourth (38.65) at this track last start. Drawn out wide and looks tested this line up.

Missed the frame latest (38.76) when fifth over 660m at this track in a Class 1/2. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from four starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Strong performance to win by 1.1 lengths at this track over 660m (38.31) beating Johnny Football in Class 1/2 on April 1. Recorded three placings in a row before she was rewarded with a win last time. Expected to run well again.
