Manawatu Race 3 - ACCELL THERAPY NZ

GRASSCUTTER NEIL (7) was well fancied last time and got off the mark by 0.8 lengths at Wanganui Straight over 313m (18.36). Boxed wide here. Running out nominations in maiden company and can make it back to back wins. Can continue winning ways. HECKLING (4) is a eight start maiden who has placed three times, the latest finishing in the minor money again when second at Wanganui. Leading chance. DONNIE THORNBURY (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Wanganui over 520m behind Been Detained (31.27) in a Class 0. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DEVIL IN GEORGIA (8) makes debut for the Lisa Cole kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Did run second in a four dog trial (21.64) on this track over 375m. Can feature with the right run.

Good effort to score just three days ago over 313m at Wanganui Straight by 0.8 lengths in a Class 0. Can make it two on the bounce.
