Manawatu Harness Race 1
5 Fear The Diva
Up from Canterbury and into the Doody stable, Fear The Diva (5) has turned in some really strong performances of late in very good fields. Should find life a whole lot easier here and off the back of a great third at Kaikoura last week should be winning this without too much stress.
Selections: 5-4-7-3-2
Manawatu Harness Race 2
1 Eddie Osei
Only going to be better for the first up run Eddie Osei (1) lands in here really nicely. Really capable pacer and should be able to hold up well from the inside draw and grab a sweet trip throughout. Dangerous with a cold shot at them at a good price.
Selections: 1-8-2-5-4
Manawatu Harness Race 3
1 Spirit Of Spitfiire
TIP OF THE DAY
After warming up late in the piece on Monday to make good ground for sixth, Spirit Of Spitfire (1) looks well poised here to break through the maiden grade. Heavily supported once again and with the aid of the markers throughout looks hard to beat.
Selections: 1-5-7-3-4
Manawatu Harness Race 4
3 Dixieland Delight
Not much went to plan on Monday for Dixieland Delight (3) but gets a chance to atone here. Has early speed and might look to use that here to get onto the speed. From there the options will be plentiful but can lead them up and win but also as effective up the sprint lane late with a cold shot.
Selections: 3-2-7-5-9
Manawatu Harness Race 5
4 Five Monkeys
Got it wrong here on Monday in the first look at the track but will be a lot better for it tonight will Five Monkeys (4). Gets a chance to make up for that here and if able to get the feet in the right places at the right time should have enough ability to win.
Selections: 4-8-3-9-7
Manawatu Harness Race 6
4 Delightful Dreams
4 Delightful Dreams: A well overdue win for Delightful Dreams (4) on Monday after a few months of very good runs in handy fields. Can string together the wins quickly too and although up in grade looks very competitive once again here, especially from the handy draw.
Selections: 4-2-3-8-7
