Palmerston North Race 7

THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD PBD

Stake: $3,800

I'VE GOT SWAGGER (5) has an impressive record and comes into this a big winner last time in quick time, scoring by 3 lengths (17.51) at Wanganui. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from four starts. The form out of her last race has been franked. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again with even luck from the squeeze box. BIG TIME LONDON (4) tends to drift back and work into the race, charging home into the minors two back before winding up late into third (21.51) in a Class 4 at this track last time. Solid record at the distance winning 15 races. Well placed and gets her chance. NOT OKAY (3) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before breaking through for an overdue win (17.40) at Wanganui Straight. Looks suited and expected to run well. BIG TIME PHIL (2) is building a nice sequence of placings and will be thereabouts again.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 21.51 last time but the start prior recorded a useful 21.41 over 375m finishing second at this track. Hard to beat with even luck.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at her last couple, most recently over 305m at Wanganui in a handy 17.51 beating Not Okay. Stick with her.
