Hatrick Race 6

CHELSEA ALWAYS BETTER POKER PLAYER THAN WAYNE C4 520M

Prize Money: $5,364

CHILD PRODIGY (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (30.24) at this track. Took a smart dog to run her down last start and must come into calculations. RUN THE GAUNTLET (5) struggled for best form latest, finishing 5th (17.58) in a Class 4 at Wanganui Straight. Form here at this distance is strong including five wins. The form from his last run stacks up well. Will be hitting the lone stronger than most and is a great chance to atone. LOCKWOOD LOOP (3) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 520m behind Honky Tonk High (31.18) in a Class 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and eight minor placings to his name from 13 starts. Drops in class today and is a key player. NEED A FAVOUR (6) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently. Another that has raced in stronger fields recently.

Good effort last time when third (17.35) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Has a low draw. Faces a tougher field today.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Class 2/3 at Manawatu and recording a lightning 25.47 for the 457m journey. Forget last start and follow up here.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he recorded a convincing 25.83 over 457m finishing third at Manawatu. Nicely placed and should go well.

Missed the frame latest (31.04) when seventh over 520m at this track in a Class 4. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Can feature with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (17.49) at Wanganui Straight in a Class 3/4, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Will need some luck to feature.
