Armed Forces looks set to provide Quaddie followers a kick start to this evening's first leg of Race 9 at 8.07pm.

This Lisa Ahern-trained former Aussie stylishly won his Hatrick track debut sprint last Friday and he has been allocated a kind draw (trap one) for this assignment.

Kennelmate Fiery Dancer won from trap eight last Friday, while Starla caught the eye when chasing home Armed Forces for trainer Glen Quirk last week.

Ahern again holds the trump hand in the open class 520m event where Mammy Brown is likely to attempt an all-the-way win. She has drawn to achieve that.

The Paul Freeman and Angela Turnwald training partnership look to provide the main opposition with Ate To Much and Pink Sox, while local trainer Rick Waite will be looking to his consistent chaser Barry's Way to apply some early pressure.

The Quaddie gets a bit trickier for the final two legs.

In leg three look to Moody Man to effectively use his kind one trap draw for Deb Edlin.

Local trainer Nathan Udy has Jill Sprite ready to fire up here.

The Waitotara training partnership of Brian Goldsack and Sandra Denby would have been thrilled with the bold fresh-up sprint that their charge Miss Foxy Minx delivered at the Manawatu Raceway on Monday.

It is no easier in the final leg where anyone of the eight sprinters engaged could win.

Consider the John McInerney-trained pair of George Baxter and Matti Oah. Hot King Cole is downgrading for Ahern, Delyn Hunt will load away Flying Flynn in the one trap from where he owns claims.

Scott No Money can ping away for Udy, while Wendy Kite prepares the former open class sprinter Hey You.

Monday afternoon sees holiday racing in Palmerston North where the $5500 Manawatu Cup (Race 11, 3.05pm) will be decided. Likely to start as a warm favourite will be last Friday's open class Hatrick winner Renee Ranger.

He has won six of his seven races on the track and the Lisa Ahern-trained chaser has drawn ideally in trap two.

Looming as his biggest danger is the exciting Karen Walsh-prepared youngster Thrilling Butcha.

Mammy Brown for Ahern will have support, as well the Paul Freeman and Angela Turnwald-trained Superior Izmir.
