Manawatu Race 4 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHAEL PBD

MAX EFFORT (3) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from five starts. Placed last time (22.52) at Ascot Park in a Class 5, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. HENDRIX RULER (4) stalked the lead from a middle box and kept coming to win (21.13) at this track in Class 5 over 375m two back. Last start raced in a race that was voided so ignore. One of main contenders. JEDDY SPAGHETTI (8) shapes well after a speedy run last time, finishing second in a Class 5 FIN at Wanganui Straight in 17.15. Harder here but expected to feature again. SPRINKLE JEAN (5) is chasing another win after a handy 17.44 win latest. Meets a very tidy line-up but don't underestimate.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.5 lengths third at Wanganui Straight but did record an outstanding 17.19 for the 313m trip. Sure to play a big role.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 375m (21.13) beating Jeddy Spaghetti in Class 5 on March 10. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Well placed and should feature.

Won her last two including a good win last start over 313m at Wanganui Straight by 0.8 lengths in a Class 4. In line for a hat-trick. Looks one of the chances.

Did a good job two starts back at Cambridge Raceway to win by 3.5 lengths in 25.84, beating Opawa Stacy. Last start finished 6th in a Class 5 on March 26 over 295m at Addington behind Boss On Top beaten 6 lengths (17.43). Look for improvement. Has ability and worth including.
