1-7 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $10,950 NON-WINNERS 3U Andre Poutama won by 2nd Cee Whatabet , 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Did a good job to salute on debut last start by 2 metres over 2000m at this track. Nice win on that occasion but faces a stiff assignment this time.

3-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Kate Coppins btn 3.8m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Filled a minor placing two back at this track and maintained that form last start when third over 2000m at this track. One of the chances.

5-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R39 TO R43 Andre Poutama btn 7.0m, wnr Stealers Wheel , 1:58.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings last start but was only beaten 7 metres when fifth over 2000m at this track. Capable of testing this field.

2-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Peter Ferguson btn 1.6m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Produced a better effort last start when second at this track over 2000m, beaten 1.5 metres. Expected to go well again.

1-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 NON-WINNERS 3U Wilson House won by 2nd Vera Grace , 1:58.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Backs up quickly after a strong win over 2000m at this track just a couple of days ago. Worth following up.

5-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Brooke Wilkins btn 12.7m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 12 metres when fifth over 2000m at this track. Must improve sharply.

6-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Jay Abernethy btn 17.3m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Saluted two runs ago at this track then didn't measure up last time when beaten 17 metres over 2000m at this track. Has the job ahead.

7-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Sailesh Abernethy btn 24.6m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Struggling to find form and has been out of the winners' list at his last four runs. Last start finished seventh over 2000m at this track. Cannot enthuse.

4-8 Manawatu 28Apr26 2000MS $11,160 R38 3U Andre Poutama btn 5.9m, wnr Major Moonshine , 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Solid effort last time to finish 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 2000m at this track. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
