Hatrick Straight Race 8

GREYHOUNDS MAKE GREAT PETS C2/3 313M PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

MILLIE'S CHOICE (8) finds it hard to win. Finished second (21.56) at Manawatu latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to feature in the finish again. THAT'S CONTACT (6) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (18.21) at Wanganui. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Can feature again. HIGHBURY HEIGHTS (1) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for three wins and two minors. Below best last time at Manawatu (26.40) in a Class 4, finishing a 8 length seventh. Does drop in class today and looks a key chance on best figures. TORQUE IN TORQUE (4) was a surprise winner last start but it in style. Is worth consideration.

Missed the frame latest (26.40) when seventh over 457m at Manawatu in a Class 4. Has two minors from three starts from box 1. Looks suited and should go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at Manawatu. Others preferred on this occasion.

Recorded a 2.25 lengths win (21.84) in a Class 3 last time at Cambridge Raceway. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from 10 starts. Should be around the mark.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 305m at Wanganui in a handy 17.87, beating Cliff Top Banger. Can keep things rolling.

Placed last time (21.56) at Manawatu in a Class 3, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Has three wins and 15 placings from 33 starts from the draw. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
