Manawatu Race 5 - SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI - GEORGE SIMON PBD

TENSION (5) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (17.80), beaten 1.5 lengths. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Overdue to get a win in this class and sure to be about the mark. FOREVER A FAIRY (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 2.75 lengths win at Wanganui in a handy 17.59. Draws out wide but in form and has the ability. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading chance again. SMALL TOWN BOY (7) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.75 lengths behind Positive Penny at Wanganui Straight. Does step up in grade today but will give a great sight again. CHURN IT UP (6) was well supported last time but could only manage second (21.81), beaten 1.5 lengths. Has been jumping the lids very quickly last couple. Well-placed to take this out.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.75 lengths in a Class 1 last start at Wanganui, recording a sharp 17.59 over the 305m journey. Looks the one to beat again.
