Manawatu Race 8 - FAREWELL OUR GRNZ HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

SAVE TIME (7) box seated before sticking on well to finish a long neck away in second (26.05) at this track in a Class 2/3 over 457m. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. Has reliable box manners. Rates highly and will give a great sight. DONNA ANNE BILLY (3) finished sixth last time at this track but could not have been more impressive before that in her handy 30.20 win at Wanganui over 520m. Needs luck in running but does have a powerful finish. Expected to feature on best figures. THRILLING SAMMY (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (21.59) from Box 5 at this track. Can measure up. CHILD PRODIGY (4) bold run expected on best form. Has been racing in slightly stronger fields of late.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on February 24 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind Need A Favour, beaten 2.5 lengths (17.74) in a Class 4. Can't recommend in this field.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Wanganui over 520m. Last start finished 6th on February 17 over 457m at this track behind Pumbaa And Timon beaten 5 lengths (26.38) in a Class 2/3. Had won two on end prior to the latest effort. Hard to beat with even luck.

Latest effort finished 2nd on February 17 over 457m at this track behind Pumbaa And Timon beaten a long neck (26.05) in a Class 2/3. The last run is a strong form reference. Consistent performer who is hard to go past.
