Manawatu Race 4 - PAUL CLARIDGE ELECTRICAL

BIG TIME ASHTON (8) finished well back at Wanganui last time when a 13 length seventh (31.10) but scored three back at this track (25.82). Strike rate this course and distance strong having won two of three tries. Worth another chance. BIG TIME ZIP (4) lines up here off a comfortable win at this track after jumping from box 5 (38.23). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Should be in this for a long way. SIMON TEMPLAR (7) was a winner (25.96) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Form here at this distance is sound. Likely to be about the money. TRUE ABILITY (1) could manage only second last time but in a scintillating 16.84. Must be respected.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Has run blistering time here with a 25.78 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.
