7-7 Manawatu 13Feb25 2000MS $9,581 NON-WINNERS 3U Peter Ferguson $26, btn 6.5m, wnr Innocent Man , 2:01.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 6 metres back in seventh at his latest appearance over 2000m at this track. Certainly worth another chance.

5-7 Manawatu 13Feb25 2000MS $9,581 NON-WINNERS 3U Allen Pyers $55, btn 5.1m, wnr Innocent Man , 2:01.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Over-raced middle stages. Lay outwards rounding the final bend and throughout the run home.

Sound effort last time to finish 5 metres from the winner in fifth over 2000m at this track. Not keen on her chances in this field.

6-8 Manawatu 13Feb25 2000MS $9,765 NON-WINNERS 3U Leah Hibell $85, btn 13.8m, wnr Frankie , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Finished 13 metres back in sixth at her latest run over 2000m at this track. Must do a lot more.

No form available.

Mare from the Michael House stable on debut. Shaping up nicely.

2-8 Manawatu 13Feb25 2000MS $9,765 NON-WINNERS 3U Josh Dickie $3, btn 0.8m, wnr Frankie , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly near the 100m and had to be steadied.

Went very well last time at this track and trip, finishing second and beaten 0.8 metres. Looks hard to beat again.

7-8 Manawatu 13Feb25 2000MS $9,765 NON-WINNERS 3U Emily Johnson $43, btn 17.8m, wnr Frankie , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 17 metres when seventh over 2000m at this track. Wait until the form picks up.

2-7 Richmond Park 10Jan25 2400SS $11,406 NON-WINNERS 3U Wilson House $14, btn 6.8m, wnr Seaside Pond , 2:03.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke at the start losing ground. Lay inwards over the concluding stages having to be corrected by driver W House.

Made a promising debut last start when runner-up at Richmond Park over 2400m, finishing 6 metres from the winner. Has to contend with an awkward draw but is a likely improver.
