Hatrick Race 8

MOORE LAW WHANGANUI C2/3 520M

Prize Money: $4,727

CHILD PRODIGY (2) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by half a length (25.78) at Manawatu. Rises slightly in class today. Looks well placed and can measure up again. SUPER LEAGUE (3) was in the minor money with a useful 26.01, finishing third in a Class 2 at Manawatu last start. Harder here but expected to feature again. BIG TIME BRAVE (4) has been thereabouts without winning, the latest finishing fourth (26.19) off a tricky draw at Manawatu in a Class 3. Form at the trip sound including 16 wins. Loves to jump and run but really struggles last 50m. Could be a bit stronger today. GRASSCUTTER MOE (7) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage fourth (30.84) at this track. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 2 at Manawatu when a 3.5 lengths third but did run a solid 26.01 over the 457m trip. Top chance to make it two from two.

Missed the frame latest (26.19) when fourth over 457m at Manawatu in a Class 3. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield

Last Starts days since last start
