Paul Nelson
Paul Nelson's hopes of a fifth Manawatu Steeplechase victory rest with No Quota at Awapuni on Saturday.
The Hastings trainer has previously won the event with Chibuku (1991), No Hero (2005), No Rush'n (2009) and Proposition (2011).
Nelson has acknowledged that No Quota, a last-start third at Trentham, will need to lift his game to foot it with the likely favourite Snodroptwinkletoes, but he hopeful of a placed performance from his rising 12-year-old.
