Manawatu Raceway Race 2 - OUTBACK TRADING MOBILE PACE
RAKERO LIGHTNING (5) backs up off a nice effort to finish fourth at this circuit and distance on Tuesday. Finds what looks to be a suitable assignment. Primary contender. BENSON DUDE (7) beat RAKERO LIGHTNING home when he finished third here on Tuesday. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wider starting position but could be close to a win. THE ELITE ATHLETE (3) will enjoy the lowest draw he has had for some time. That brings him into calculations in this line-up. The ace draw should spark improvement from FEAR THE DIVA (1).

Drawing the ace only increases her chances of running a dividend bearing place.
