Manawatu Race 9 - OUTBACK TRADING COMPANY

AVATAR SPEED (8) was in the minor money with a good 25.86, finishing third in a Class 1/2 at this track last start. When his mind is on the job he is capable of running time. Expected to push the clock again here. MAILMAN'S COMING (5) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing eight from 14 starts. Finished second (26.39) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Winning chance. CROSSFIT QUEEN (4) hit the ground running from this same draw last time and led much of the way but nabbed late when a neck second (30.17) in a Class 1 at Wanganui. Bold showing expected again. POSITIVE PENNY (7) is worth including at decent each-way value.
