Manukau Race 3 - MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES PBD

ANGLERS ARMS (7) was quickly into stride and found the front last start to record an all-the-way win (30.28) at Addington in a Class 1 FIN over 525m. Expected to go well again. WONDERING WHY (3) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Cambridge Raceway over 375m (21.78). Cannot be taken lightly. BIG TIME SPECIAL (5) missed the frame last time when fifth (38.79) at Manawatu but prior to that had three placings in a row. Solid record at the distance winning four races. The form from her last run stacks up well. Expected to give a good account. BIG TIME LOPEZ (8) will be hard to beat despite making her debut at this circuit.

Latest effort finished 4th over 375m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 3.5 lengths (21.78) behind Go Bella in a Class 2 H on June 5. More than capable and has to be included.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Class 2/3 on May 27 over 660m at Manawatu behind Johnny Football beaten 11 lengths (38.79). Placed two back at Manawatu. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (47.64) at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and needs to find best form to feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 520m at Wanganui beaten 10 lengths (31.41) behind Green Gold in a Class 1/2 on May 30. Placed two back at Manawatu. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
