Whanganui Race 12

BALDRICKS CUNNING PLAN C3 305M PBD

Stake: $3,200

PAPERBACK (4) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in her strong 21.55 win at Manawatu over 375m. Has the ability and looks hard to top. BIG TIME POTTER (3) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for four wins and two minors. Placed last time (17.93) at this track in a Class 2, finishing second and beaten a neck. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BORA BORA (2) had been in sparkling form with a three start winning streak coming to an end last time finishing second (17.40) at Wanganui Straight. Has a good record here including three wins. Looks suited and expected to run well. OPAWA JORDAN (8) is a last start winner in a very good time. Among the leading chances.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 313m at Wanganui Straight beaten 0.8 lengths (17.40) behind Dapper Jabber in a Class 2 on June 17. In form and another win would not surprise.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (17.95) at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Last start finished fourth over 305m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths (18.13) behind Big Time June in a Class 2/3 on June 13. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (18.16) over 305m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need a little luck to feature.
