Manawatu Race 9 - THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD
BENNY'S BEST BET (4) got around the 313m at Wanganui Straight to take a Class 4 in a good 17.32 for a 2 length win. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BIG TIME BRAVE (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at Wanganui (30.32) but scored five back at Wanganui (30.28). Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has exceptional early box speed and has the ability to give this a shake. PUMBAA AND TIMON (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start. Not the quickest into stride but does roar home late.

Missed the frame latest (30.32) when fifth over 520m at Wanganui in a Class 5 H. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and six places from 17 starts. Danger with even luck.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Can't make much of a case this time.

Good effort to score just three days ago over 313m at Wanganui Straight by 2 lengths in a Class 4. Strongly fancied and lived right up to expectations last start. Expected to go close.
