Palmerston North Race 11

PAUL CLARIDGE ELECTRICAL PBD

Stake: $2,600

BIG TIME CIRCUS (6) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at her last four runs. Last start finished 2nd over 305m at Wanganui beaten 1.1 lengths (17.83) behind Cliff Top Vinnie in a Class 1/2 on April 4. Capable of going well again. CEPHALOPOD (5) scored (31.27) last time out over 520m at Wanganui four months ago. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Will go close here with a clear run. HEY MR. STARTER (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (21.66) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Should be in this for a long way. LET'S GO BARBIE (4) is a last start all of the way winner who can measure up again. Something for the Multiples: HEY MR. STARTER (3)

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 375m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Returns from a four months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 520m at Wanganui. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Hit the frame latest (17.83) when second at Wanganui in a Class 1/2. Has three wins and five placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.9 lengths at this track (21.74) beating Connie's Comet in a Class 1 on April 1. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
