Manawatu Race 4 - ALL THE NEWS AT TRACKSIDE PBD
IT'S A RUSE (3) is a last start Class 1 winner, jumping from this box and scoring by 2 lengths over 375m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and two minors. Expected to feature again. SPIN ME ROUND (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.63). Has ability and is one of the better chances. PLUTO'S PLANET (5) not suited to the straight track racing and will run better on this course. Is likely to have admirers.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished seventh over 520m at Wanganui, beaten 11 lengths. Would be better placed in something easier.
