Manawatu Race 4 - MANAWATU KNITTING MILLS LTD MOBILE PACE
IAMTHECAPTAINNOW (4) made a winning start for the House stable at the latest appearance, scoring at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but she looks capable of going on with the job. GOORAMBAT ART (1) could only manage to finish seventh on Tuesday but draws better and was racing well prior. Should have no excuses from this advantageous barrier. Big chance. BELL FIRE (7) came from a similar barrier in winning here three back and did a good job in finishing third on Tuesday. Go well again. THE ELITE ATHLETE (5) must be respected having recorded a win and a placing in his last two outings here.
