Hatrick Race 3

THE TAB BOX DOG C1 520M

Prize Money: $5,182

GRASSCUTTER ROSS (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (26.41) last time in a Class 1 at Manawatu. Still learning but has plenty of raw ability. Can atone. GRASSCUTTER NICK (5) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Class 0 win two back (26.34) at Manawatu. Expected to bounce back to best. CLOUD BOOMING (3) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 4 lengths (26.33) at Manawatu in a Class 1 over 457m. Expected to feature again. SMALL TOWN BOY (6) can find the frame without surprising.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fourth at Manawatu. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Key chance on best form.

Finished second at big odds last time (26.38) over 457m at Manawatu. Tricky draw to overcome. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished last on May 12 over 457m at Manawatu behind Need A Dollar beaten 7 lengths (26.59) in a Class 1. Well placed here and can atone.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (26.39) over 457m at Manawatu. Capable of taking this out.
