7-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Jay Abernethy btn 24.8m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Not a threat last start when seventh over 2000m at this track, beaten 24 metres. Won't find this easy. Not keen.

5-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Sailesh Abernethy btn 10.5m, wnr Takethat , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was safely held last time out in fifth over 2000m at this track, beaten 10 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

3-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Emily Johnson btn 6.5m, wnr Takethat , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

May be putting it all together now after finding the frame for the first time last start at this track over 2000m. Progressive type who is expected to go well again.

6-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Brooke Wilkins btn 10.8m, wnr Takethat , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was in the money two back then safely held last time when sixth at this track over 2000m, beaten 10 metres. Deserves another chance.

6-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Kate Coppins btn 24.0m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Was sub-par last time when sixth over 2000m at this track after drawing poorly. Worth another chance from a much better draw.

3-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Tony Cameron btn 5.7m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Started favourite first-up recently and turned in a solid run when third over 2000m at this track. Will strip fitter and looks tough to beat.

5-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Peter Ferguson btn 23.8m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished third two starts back at Wingatui then missed the top-three last time out over 2000m at this track. Hard to enthuse.

7-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Rhys Fensom btn 12.2m, wnr Takethat , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has raced twice this prep and failed to fill a top-three spot on either occasion, the latest when seventh over 2000m at this track, beaten 12 metres. Certainly worth another chance.

5-8 Alexandra Park 17Apr26 2200MS $13,950 NON-WINNERS 2U Crystal Hackett $14, btn 2.4m, wnr Always Be Kind , 2:00.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages.

Finished fifth over 2200m at Alexandra Park last time out to continue a run of very steady form. Among the leading chances again.

4-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Michael Hay btn 13.2m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 13 metres when fourth over 2000m at this track. Not keen.

4-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Peter Ferguson btn 8.9m, wnr Takethat , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Is back in form after finishing in the placings at his last two runs, the most recent at this track over 2000m, beaten 2 metres. Among the top chances on recent form.

2-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Andre Poutama btn 0.3m, wnr Dream Boyz , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Bounced back last start when second at this track over 2000m, beaten a neck. One of the key runners.
