Palmerston North Race 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR SATURDAY JAZZ

Stake: $4,400

FLASH INFERNO (8) last start finished last on June 3 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Big Time Iggy beaten 5.5 lengths (18.22) in a Class 1. Looks suited and should go close. HONKY TONK HIGH (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Bold showing expected. REPLICA REBEL (1) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 375m behind Hey Mr. Starter (22.14) in a Class 2. Scored at his previous run. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be in this for a long way. LET'S GO BARBIE (3) has placed second in three of her last four starts and can sneak into the finish.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 1 on May 27 over 457m at this track behind Twisted Truth beaten 7 lengths (26.49). Placed two back at this track. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Dropping back in distance from his last start when seventh over 660m at this track. Has struggled in the past over this trip. Not among the main chances this time.

Missed the frame latest (30.87) when fifth over 520m at Wanganui in a Class 3/4. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.
