Manawatu Race 7 - THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION PETER & ALLISON PBD

LAST SAY (7) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a nose win at this track in a handy 21.36. Draws out wide but goes well over this trip. Does step up in class for this race but is expected to be right there at the finish again. BIG TIME DIXIE (6) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (18.03) at Wanganui in a Class 3/4. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MILLIE'S CHOICE (8) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (17.55), beaten 0.7 lengths. Not the quickest into stride but does hit the line solidly. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. BIG TIME FERN (5) can play a role in the finish without surprising. Odds will be lucrative.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.75) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has two successes and five minors from 14 starts from box 3. Looks a place chance at best.

Was out of placings last time (21.58) at this track in a Class 4, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Can't recommend in this field.

Was out of placings last time (17.55) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 2/3, finishing fourth and beaten 0.7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and 15 places from 34 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
