Manawatu Race 1 - MANAWATU ITM MOBILE PACE

RUN BLAZE RUN (4) has the hoof on he till after clocking in second in his last four outings, the latest two coming at this circuit and distance. Deserves a win and is good enough to take this out. RUTHERFORD (1) came from a wider barrier and finished third at his last outing just a couple of days ago at this circuit and distance. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Can certainly make his presence felt. RHAEGAL (3) draws lower than last start and has placed in four of six tries at this circuit and distance. Has to come into calculations. MAGIE DO (2) has been solid of late and draws for a good showing.
