Manawatu Raceway Race 2 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOBBSY MOBILE PACE
I CAN TOO (5) added to a string of wins and placings when he finished third at his last run over this distance just a couple of days ago. Did a good job to land a win here two back. Hard to knock the consistency. Strong claims. GOTTA ELECT BILL (7) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out on Tuesday, making it back-to-back seconds at this circuit and distance. Must overcome a very wide draw but has his hoof on the till. BALTIC STAR (2) didn't have a lot of luck on Tuesday but had recorded two wins and a placing from the previous three starts and draws to advantage so is worth another chance. DREAM ON LOU (4) is worth plenty of thought after returning to the winners' list on Tuesday.

He was a touch unlucky on Tuesday. Ace draw an assist. Rough place prospect.
