Manawatu Race 5 - THE PAVEMASTER'S LTD
PRESSURE'S ON (6) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from four starts. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (26.00) in a Class 2 over 457m at this track. Rises in class but should handle it. HIGHBURY HEIGHTS (3) finished third (17.46) two back at Wanganui Straight but out of the placings last time when 7th at this track. Should be in this for a long way. ICONIC END (5) failed to come into contention last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at Wanganui Straight (17.66) beating More Airflow in a Class 1 on March 24. Expected to give a good account. THRILLING SAMMY (4) picked up an unexpected cheque last time and is in the mix again. Odds will be appealing.

Last start finished 7th over 457m at this track beaten 7 lengths (26.39) behind Big Time Gunnar in a Class 3 on March 27. Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Deserves another chance.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (26.03) over 457m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Sure to be most competitive again.

Won two starts back at Wanganui Straight over 313m in 17.66. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 457m at this track at Class 2 level. Leading chance on best form.

Hit the frame at Ascot Park last time when a 2.5 lengths second but did record an excellent 25.87 over the 457m journey. Recent racing in slightly stronger fields down south. Keep safe.
