Whanganui Race 3

THE TAB BOX DOG C1 305M PBD

Stake: $2,900

MAPLE LEAF (4) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (21.82) at Manawatu. Likely to feature again. TO BE WILD (7) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance to score a Class 0 win (17.77). Expecting another bold showing despite stepping up in class. SWEET RED (6) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 305m (18.13). Has ability and can measure up. GOLDSTAR MINTY (3) cannot be underestimated in a field lacking much depth.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Wanganui Straight, the latest when beaten 12 lengths behind Connie's Comet over 313m. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (17.97) at big odds over 305m at this track. Is a danger.

Last start finished 3rd in a Class 1 on October 28 over 375m at Manawatu behind I've Got Swagger beaten 3.5 lengths (21.82). Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (18.41) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Looking to others.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (21.74) over 375m at Manawatu. Right in the mix again.

Solid performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 305m (17.77) beating Prandini in Class 0 on October 24. Won at her only start from this box. Expected to measure up again.
