Waipukurau Race 1 - CENTRAL FM MAIDEN
SMALL FORT (4) was unbeaten in 3 trials prior to finishing fourth on debut at the favourite at Whanganui nearly 3 weeks ago, when just peaking on his effort late. He will naturally improve with the experience and is ready to set the record straight in this. MANOLETE (2) worked hard to find the front at Ellerslie last start, and he was only claimed late, finishing fourth in a race won by a smart type. He has a superior gate this time, and he should pick up his first win at short notice. CHARMING EMPEROR (1) has been freshened up since a modest effort at Tauherenikau 5 weeks ago. He is trained on the track, which is an advantage, and he is worth another chance. WYE VALLEY (5) resumes from a long spell for a new stable, and she has trialled twice recently to get ready. The market will be the best guide. PLATINUM NORWAY (7) was a lot better second up when finishing fourth at Whanganui, and she will continue to improve with more racing. Include in all top 4 combos.

Has been out of the money recently including last time out when seventh over 1400m at Tauherenikau five weeks ago, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can turn things around.

Yet to place in two career runs but shows promise, including a last-start fourth over 1200m at Wanganui. Coming along well and is worth including.
