Hatrick Race 8

WATERLOO CUP (GROUP 1) HEAT

Prize Money: $7,182

BOOM DYNAMITE (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.94 beating Avatar Speed. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can continue on with his winning form. TAPU GIRL (5) goes very well at the distance with six wins and a placing from eight starts. Recorded a neck win (30.36) in a R/A FIN last time at Addington. Did win the group one NZ Oaks last start. With even luck and a clean start should be right amongst the finish again. RUN THE GAUNTLET (6) shapes well after a speedy run last time, finishing second in a Class 5 at Manawatu in 25.99. Not the quickest into stride but should be running home strongly. Should be in this for a long way. GRASSCUTTER MOE (3) can measure up with the right run.

Recorded a neck win (29.94) in a Class 4/5 last time at this track. Strong record off the draw with four wins and three minors from nine starts. Makes strong appeal.

Comments

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 3 lengths in a Class 4/5 at this track and clocking a solid 30.19 over the 520m trip. Solid prospects.
