Manawatu Raceway Race 4 - OUTBACK TRADING HANDICAP TROT
TINKERBELLE (4) was a beaten favourite but still performed well when fourth from this same handicap on Tuesday. Expect that hitout will have improved her and this looks a winnable assignment. TRIPPY TYRON (2) finished in front of TINKERBELLE when a close second from this mark on Tuesday. A repeat of that performance would see her go close. ALL MUSCLED UP (6) has only been beaten by narrow margins in his last two outings at this venue so is on the radar. BANGKOK BETTY (3) made a late mistake on Tuesday but is building in fitness so is a chance with manners.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 2500m at this track, beaten 4 m by Henrik Lundqvist (3:22.50) on February 25 at $17.50. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 2500m at this track, beaten 85 m by Quercus Rubra (3:15.00) on February 23 at $21.70. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fifth behind Henrik Lundqvist at this track over 2500m on February 25 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Mr Monty at this track over 2500m on March 11 at $21. Leading player.

Last start 7th (30m U2) over 2500m at this track well beaten by Mr Monty (3:22.10) on March 11 at $13. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 7 m by Trifolium (2:49.40) in 3yo+ on March 4 at $12.10. Better than last start and may well be worth another chance.
