CENTRAL DISTRICTS – Paul Gueorgieff WONDERBAR: Having first start for seven months in race two at Tauherenikau tomorrow but good enough to win. DANACANTO: Unplaced when resuming over 1200m last month but will appreciate extra distance in race five at Tauherenikau. SPRITZ: Has raced well in three starts this campaign and step up in distance to 1600m in race six at Tauherenikau should suit. CANTERBURY – Mat Kermeen MY CASH: Has the game to win race two at Ashburton. THE MANIPULATOR: Class of the field in race eight. G I JOE: Should be too good for them in race 10. OTAGO-SOUTHLAND – Jamie Searle KIWI FOCUS: Win bet in race eight at Ascot Park tomorrow after solid runs in last two starts. MELINA LOWE: Pushed back and closed late at Winton. Can win from bad draw in race nine. PEMBROKE HARRY: Came from the rear with big finish for fifth at Forbury Park, Thursday. GREYHOUNDS – Peter Earley ATOONGA AIR: Got to the line Thursday, draws awkward again in the first today, should be some value. GIMME HOT CHIPS: Showed a bit of speed in debut run, looked a little lost at Wanganui, worth a look in the third today. VIDEO WATCH – Murray Wedlake MR LUIGI: Had plenty go wrong during his Ellerslie race and still managed to close strongly late for second. NORTH AND SOUTH: Looked like taking some of the minor money at Trentham till she ran out of room in the final stages. PROSECCO: Struggled to accelerate at Hawera as she was not wide enough to be using the best ground.
