7-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Michael Hay btn 14.0m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was seventh at this track over 2000m last start after filling a minor placing at this track two starts back. Leading contender on best form.

6-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Sailesh Abernethy btn 13.5m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third at this track two starts back then couldn't repeat the dose over 2000m at this track last time, finishing 13 metres from the winner. Can play a role in the finish.

4-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Emily Johnson btn 7.6m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has been outside the top three recently, last time out finishing fourth over 2000m at this track. Has the same draw and is worth another chance.

6-8 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,230 3U Sailesh Abernethy btn 21.1m, wnr Dream On Lou , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Safely held last time at the first run of the campaign when 21 metres from the winner in sixth over 2000m at this track. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

7-8 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,230 3U S P Doody btn 22.1m, wnr Dream On Lou , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was among the top chances last start, finishing seventh and beaten 22 metres over 2000m at this track. Sure to prove tough to beat.

5-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Brooke Wilkins btn 10.3m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was expected to do more last time out, finishing fifth and beaten 10 metres over 2000m at this track. May pay to overlook the run as he looks well-placed to bounce back to form.

9-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Peter Ferguson btn 17.6m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when ninth over 2000m at this track, beaten 17 metres. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

2-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U Andre Poutama btn 1.6m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished runner-up over 2000m at this track last start after he was out of the money two back at Cambridge Raceway. Very hard to beat.

8-9 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,423 R35 TO R38 3U S P Doody btn 14.9m, wnr Mr Miki , 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to measure up again last start when eighth over 2000m at this track, beaten 14 metres. Cannot enthuse.

8-8 Manawatu 07Apr26 2000MS $10,230 3U Kate Coppins btn 22.4m, wnr Dream On Lou , 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to feature two runs back then last start was a well-beaten eighth over 2000m at this track, 22 metres from the winner. Expecting a much better run this time.
