Palmerston North Race 1

MOORE LAW PALMERSTON NORTH

Stake: $5,300

BIG TIME POPPY (6) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 6 lengths away in fifth (39.00). Was in the money the start prior. Can make amends. ROCK IT RAPPER (7) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Class 5 at Wanganui over 520m. Can turn it around this time. HOT TRUFFLE (4) missed the frame last time when seventh (18.27) at Wanganui in a Class 1 but not beaten far the start prior. Can turn it around this time. MYSTIC LUNA (8) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Came from wide draw and finished last in a Class 1 on June 3 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Thrilling Gordon beaten 10 lengths (18.53). Can't make much of a case this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Was out of placings last time (39.00) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Working his way into winning form after his success on May 2 at Wanganui over 520m. Last start was second over 520m in 30.44, behind Big Time Brave. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.
