Manawatu Raceway Race 2 - SUPERSONIC SYNDICATE MOBILE PACE
IAMTHECAPTAINNOW (2) is racing well with five top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2000m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Leading hope in this comparable race. DREAM ON LOU (3) finished second last start, beaten half a metre, in a far better performance at this track over 2000m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field so he can add to the sound recent effort. GENUINE IMITATION (8) is a big chance following a run of four top-three finishes, the latest at this track nine days ago. Real threat to the top selections. IM ALL IN (7) broke badly in the early running on the grass at Hawera last start. Better than that last run would suggest and can fall into a place.
