Manawatu Raceway Race 4 - SUPPORT POPPY DAY MOBILE PACE
BROOKIES PLAYER (10) comes here just a couple of days after scoring a win at this circuit and distance. No favours expected from this draw but he drops in grade so with even luck he can certainly take this out. MR MIKI (9) enjoyed a class drop at the most recent appearance on Tuesday, coming from this row and getting home in his first attempt at this circuit and distance. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. GENUINE IMITATION (7) draws wide but deserves another win having finished in the minor placings in her last five appearances at this circuit and distance. UPTON (2) is lightly raced with upside and could take the next step after scoring from this barrier here on Tuesday.
