Palmerston North Race 4

The Pavemasters Ltd

Stake: $3,700

THRILLING SAMMY (4) was a brilliant 25.78 winner at this track last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. HONKY TONK HIGH (7) filled a minor placing last start at Cambridge Raceway behind Thrilling Alfie (26.22) in a Class 1. Took the lead and boxed on but run over. Won at his only start from this box. Winning chance. BET REJECTED (3) is a progressive dog who scored her 2nd career win last time at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths (26.30). Hard to fault her recent form and can win again. OPAWA TARA (5) among the chances again based on last run here.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 457m at this track by 2 lengths in a Class 1. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths third at this track but did record a swift 26.04 over the 457m journey. Can slot into the minors again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.
