Manawatu Race 7 - SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI
AVATAR SPEED (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (30.19) in a Class 5 FIN at Wanganui. Has a good record here at this journey. Slow starts have proven costly but with a clear run does poses a powerful finish. Tough to beat if on-song. CROSSFIT QUEEN (6) missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 5 lengths (30.43) last time at Wanganui. Solid record here including three wins. Form from her last run is proving strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. RATHER CONVINCED (1) is a progressive type who recorded his 6th career win last time out (30.13) at Wanganui. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. One of the main contenders from the ace. JILLIBY EATON (4) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box. Odds will be lucrative.

Was out of placings last time (30.43) at Wanganui in a Class 3, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Has a win and two places from three starts from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a solid 25.86 over 457m finishing second at this track. Has ability and worth including.
