Western Fair Raceway Race 3

Race 3

Stake: $6,596

MANHATTAN JOE (9) finished fifth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 0.8 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Big chance if anywhere near his best. BRYANT SEELSTER (2) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 9 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. ZIPPENNRIPPEN (5) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. ODDS ON KICKOFF (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track eight days ago.
