Manawatu Race 1 - ITM MOBILE PACE
DREAM ON LOU (5) had a tough draw last time at Taupo but is better served here. Had looked close to a win when runner-up in the previous two outings, one of them at this circuit and distance. Big chance. DOCTOR TIM (1) has had either very wide barriers or handicapped starts in recent outings so will relish the ace draw. Has decent statistics both here and at the distance so can show his best. INDISPOSED (8) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings, one of them here and from this row, before delivering a last-start win at Hawera. Could go on with it. TWO JULES (2) draws better than in her last couple so can show more.
