Hatrick Straight Race 9

$159.2 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY C3/4 313M PBD

Prize Money: $3,727

LULU'S DREAM (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 3.5 lengths (29.99) at Wanganui. Only concern is having debut run up the straight track. Can measure up again provided she can handle this circuit. HEY DRIVER (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from five tries. Below best last time at Manawatu (26.39) in a Class 4/5, finishing a 11 length seventh. Faces a significant drop in class today and can feature with the right run. BIG TIME TAWNY (7) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (17.65) in a Class 3 over 313m at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. Is usually quick to jump the boxes. I'VE GOT SWAGGER (2) was out of placings last time (18.34) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Has three wins already from this draw. Odds will be appealing.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (21.87) in a Class 3, finishing a 10 length sixth. Has three successes and nine minors from 18 starts from box 1. Getting on in years but always a place chance.

Missed the frame latest (18.34) when sixth over 305m at Wanganui in a Class 4. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from seven starts. With a clean start should be thereabouts.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Has ability and is a key chance.

Last start finished 3rd over 313m at this track beaten 3 lengths (17.65) behind Benny's Best Bet in a Class 3 on February 3. The form out of the last run measures up. The one to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on January 30 over 457m at Manawatu behind Child Prodigy beaten 5 lengths (25.82) in a Class 2/3. Placed two back at this track. Has ability and worth including.
