Race 1 @ 5.14pm - #3 Joes Rock & #8 The Surfer Our first runner Joes Rock has the draw in her favour. If she hits the line like she did last start she'll be right amongst. The Surfer has theRead more

Race 2 @ 6.18pm - #1 Quicksilva He would have gained plenty from his first race day outing. It'll be tough against one win trotters, but if he gets around safely I'll be very happy.Read more

Race 7 @ 7.21pm - #8 Joes Rock The outside marble over a sprint trip looks tough. Having said that, she has the best mile rate in the field. If she's saved for a sit, I'm sure we'll see her gettingRead more

Race 8 @ 8.24pm - #1 Jolimont & #4 Little Spike I'm very happy with the way Jolimont has been working. He's come up with the plum draw, and over a mile we need to take advantage of it. I'mRead more

Race 6 @ 5.33pm - #2 Beta Prepare He was good last start without a lot of luck. It's a very even field but from his handy draw he looks a top four chance.Read more

Race 4 @ 6.43pm - #11 Skys Legacy I was very happy with his first start back last week. He has a second row draw and a big field to overcome, but I wouldn't count him out. He's well over the odds. Read more

Race 3 @ 5.49pm - #1 Ragnar Lothbrok Escaping Auckland company and a good draw, gives him his chance to shine. Race 5 @ 6.44pm - #9 Cheer Me On She's definitely racing below her best. We'll beRead more

Race 4 @ 7.00pm - #4 Le Major I was disappointed with his run a fortnight ago however, he still cut out a very good last 800. It's a handy field but with his best form he's a top three hope. RaceRead more

Race 2 @ 6.03pm - #5 Ragnar Lothbrok & #9 Skys Legacy We start with Ragnar Lothbrok whose sectionals were very good last week. Again, it's a niggly draw so we'll have to see what happens early.Read more

Race 5 @ 6.50pm - #9 Rough And Ready He'd have to be crowned the King of Manawatu now. While he goes back another 10 metres, the extra distance will help. Tactics will play a part but once again heRead more
