Manawatu Race 7 - RED SNAPPER SEAFOODS, CHRISTCHURCH
THRILLING SAMMY (3) kept coming to win after stalking the lead from a low draw (26.02) at this track in Class 3 over 457m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can make it two on the bounce. BIG TIME MAESTRO (8) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.2 lengths from THRILLING SAMMY in second (26.10) at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. JILLIBY EATON (6) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 457m behind THRILLING SAMMY (26.76) in a Class 3. Was in the money prior to that. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to her credit. Bold showing expected. RATHER CONVINCED (5) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently. Gets a tricky draw but odds should be appealing.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in his races. Last start finished fifth over 457m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Others favoured this time.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (30.58) over 520m at Wanganui. Suited here and expected to run well.

Last start finished 2nd on May 5 over 457m at this track behind Thrilling Sammy beaten 1.2 lengths (26.10) in a Class 3. Found one better last time. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.
