Palmerston North Race 5

RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH

Stake: $6,300

NEED A FAVOUR (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.75) at Cambridge Raceway. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must come into calculations. BIG TIME MOOSE (7) is a promising dog in the frame at 16 of 35 starts including nine wins and was in the minors again latest (30.45) over 520m at Wanganui. Form here at the trip sound including five wins. Expected to feature on best form. LOCKWOOD LOOP (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.50) at Wanganui behind Big Time Toby in a R/A. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. FOOL ME ONCE (5) placed last time (17.34) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten half a length. Has already won four times from this draw.

Was out of placings last time (17.97) at Wanganui in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Will need some luck to feature.

Went down narrowly in a Class 5 at Wanganui Straight latest when a half a length second but did record a slick 17.34 over the 313m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Hit the frame latest (30.45) when third at Wanganui in a Class 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 520m at Wanganui in a handy (30.38), beating Rock It Rapper. Will find this a bit tougher, good win recently but others preferred.
