Manawatu Race 12 - IT’S BEEN AN HONOUR, ANDREW GRIEVE, LURE DRIVER PBD

FERGIE'S GIRL (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from four tries. Comes off a (17.55) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Class 5 over 305m at Wanganui. Looks a key chance on best form. IT'S A RUSE (2) has been in sparkling form recording back to back wins, the latest at Wanganui last time over 305m in (17.73). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Likely to be in the finish. LAST SAY (8) has missed the frame at last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his handy 21.38 win at this track over 375m. Gets an ideal draw and expecting another bold showing. DIAMOND ARCHIE (5) was in the money last start despite a big quote and is likely to feature again. Is having his first start at this venue.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (23.38) over 390m at Ascot Park. Squeeze draw to overcome. Sure to play a big role.

Missed the frame latest (21.88) when fifth over 375m at this track in a Class 5 H. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and seven places from 16 starts. Looks suited and should go close.
