Hatrick Race 7

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PENSIONER PETE C2/3 520

Prize Money: $4,727

GROOT'S GALAXY (3) ran good time (30.13) when placing two back at this track but missed the frame latest in a Class 2 at Manawatu. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SAVE TIME (4) was well supported last time but could only manage third (26.48), beaten 4.5 lengths. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Faces a slight down grade in class today and expected to feature again. ZEUS'S MAGIC (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (26.20) at Manawatu behind Rather Convinced in a Class 2. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. BIG TIME FAVOUR (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 6 lengths away in third (26.29). Well placed and gets her chance. Mapped to jump quick and get a clean run into the first bend.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 2 on March 10 over 457m at Manawatu behind Rather Convinced beaten 8 lengths (26.40). Placed two back at this track. Has a sharp 30.13 PB at this course and distance. Top chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 457m at Manawatu. Likely to struggle this time.
