Whanganui Race 8

ALL THE NEWS @ TRACKSIDE C1 305M PBD

Stake: $2,900

HIGH ANXIETY (5) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 2.25 lengths back in second (21.74) at Manawatu in a Class 1 over 375m. Can find winning form with luck in running. LAST SAY (7) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when seventh (18.18), beaten 3.5 lengths. Usually has good early box speed and should be about the mark. SUGAR SUGAR (3) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (31.42) in a Class 1 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to do much better this time. POPPY JEM (8) gets a favourable draw and cannot be underestimated.

Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 305m (17.95) beating Goldstar Minty in Class 1 on October 24. Not keen.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 375m at Manawatu. Hard to envisage a win.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished last on October 24 over 305m at this track behind She Who Can beaten 3.5 lengths (18.18) in a Class 1. Placed two back at this track. Fought on last time. Capable of a strong show.

Most recent effort finished 6th over 305m at this track beaten 3 lengths (18.17) behind She Who Can in a Class 1 on October 24. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
