Hatrick Race 4

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI C2 520M

Prize Money: $4,364

AVATAR SPEED (4) goes very well this trip starting four times for two wins and two minors. Scored by a neck last time (30.35) in a Class 1 over 520m at this track. Was a really big effort to win last start after copping a bump early. BIG TIME ASHTON (6) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing third and beaten one length (17.58) behind Rockin' Roger at Wanganui Straight. Does drop in class for this and expected to be in the finish again. BIG TIME GUNNAR (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by a long neck at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.45 beating Forever A Fairy. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. ZEUS'S MAGIC (7) shapes well for this after a brilliant 17.29 win latest. Might find the distance a bit far but is a chance for the multiple bets.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 520m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not keen, needs to lift.

Continued winning form with another impressive display to make it two on the trot at this track over 520m (30.35). Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wanganui Straight (17.79) in a Class 2, finishing a 7 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Tough field and appears tested.

Improved sharply when third behind Rockin' Roger at Wanganui Straight last start over 313m (17.58). Top chance.
