Manawatu Race 4 - PAUL CLARIDGE ELECTRICAL - MARC COOKSON
TOO EASY (7) is a consistent runner who is having his first look at course. Had the inside and was too good last time scoring by 3 lengths at Addington over 525m (30.27). Steps out of maiden grade for this but has been well supported in both race-day runs and delivered stylishly. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. MAILMAN'S COMING (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.85) at Wanganui behind GROOT'S GALAXY in a Class 1. Has the pace to be prominent. Will give a great sight again. GROOT'S GALAXY (8) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 1.1 lengths at Wanganui in a handy 30.77 beating MAILMAN'S COMING. Draws out wide but has a good record over this journey. Leading chance again. BIG TIME GUNNAR (2) should be thereabouts. Likes to crash to the rails and looks a good chance of jumping well and doing so today.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at Wanganui Straight (17.44) beating Forever A Fairy in a Class 1 on February 10. Look for improvement. Is a danger.

Last start finished 2nd on February 13 over 520m at Wanganui behind Groot's Galaxy beaten 1.1 lengths (30.85) in a Class 1. Has clocked an excellent 25.72 Best Time here at the trip. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Did a good job two starts back at Wanganui Straight to win by half a length in, beating Cliff Top Maggie. Last start finished 6th over 305m at Wanganui beaten 10 lengths (18.42) behind Ten Across in a Class 0 on February 13. Well placed and among the chances here.

Last start winner at Addington over 525m running a time of 30.27. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Unbeaten with back-to-back wins and and looks a key chance again if runs up to latest.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.1 lengths over 520m at Wanganui in a handy 30.77, beating Mailman's Coming. Expected to measure up again.
