Manawatu Race 8 - GOLDSTAR RACING - PIP MORRIS PBD

DON'T ASK CHARLY (2) jumps from box 2 again after scoring (17.80) last time at Wanganui over 305m. Won first up for a new trainer last start and can continue winning ways. LAST SAY (7) shapes well after a sharp run last time, finishing second in a Class 2 at this track in 21.27. Has been beaten by some handy dogs in last few runs. Has the ability and can measure up. THRILLING SAMMY (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 26.25 beating Thrilling Zane. One of the leading chances again with a clean run from the squeeze box. CHANCE TO SHINE (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good form but disappointed when fourth (22.29) at Cambridge Raceway. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. One to include behind the top picks.
