Hatrick Straight Race 4

BETCHA BOX 4 C4/5 313M PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

MOJITO DREAMS (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from nine tries. In the money last time at Wanganui (17.64) in a Class 5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Two starts back ran third in a very strong race at Manawatu. Rates on top and should go close. CRIMINAL MINDS (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.65) at Wanganui. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won six of seven tries. Has a strong record from box 2, including three wins. Expected to be in this for a long way. JILLIBY EATON (3) was below best at her last start when 6th at Wanganui following a win (17.56) there two back. Key runner on best form. STAR BOY EXPRESS (6) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently. Racing pattern suggests he will get back but power home strongly late.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a neck at Wanganui (17.56) beating Laddu Rose in a Class 3/4 on February 13. Rates among the chances this time.

Impressive performance to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Class 4 last start at Wanganui, clocking a brilliant 30.06 for the 520m trip. In form and can make it three straight.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (17.30) over 313m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. In form but this is a test.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner scoring by 3 lengths in a Class 5 at this track and clocking a solid 17.31 over the 313m trip. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (17.51) over 313m at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.
