Manawatu Race 12 - BERNIE MITCHELL MEMORIAL PBD

PAPERBACK (8) was a handy 21.55 winner of a Class 2 at this track last start. In winning form and can measure up again. BIG TIME POTTER (4) was a last-start placegetter when a 1.5 lengths third at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.82). Has been out the placings in all three runs here. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Expecting another good run. BIG TIME PARIS (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (21.95) last time in a Class 2/3 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Better than last start and can bounce back. OPAWA TARA (5) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing. Watch closely.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 457m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
