Phar Lap Rcwy Race 5 - THINK WATER TIMARU HANDICAP PACE
LONNEKERS (7) in in good form having scored last start over this distance at Rangiora. Got it wrong prior so will need his manners but his form reads strongly enough to make it consecutive wins. STORMY VISTA (4) was third to LONNEKERS last start at Rangiora, his third placing in four starts this time in. Race fit now so is a chance to turn the tables. NOT OVER (5) was fourth in that same race at his most recent appearance and recorded back-to-back placings prior. Proven at this circuit and distance. Contender. COBA CHARGED (8) got it wrong last start but is a player off an Ashburton win three back.

Racing better than form-line suggests and can offer cheek off the front tape.
