Hatrick Race 3

THE TAB BOX DOG C1 520M

Prize Money: $3,727

RUN THE GAUNTLET (6) was well fancied but drifted back before winding up with a late dash home to place, 1.5 lengths from the winner (26.06) at Manawatu in Class 0. Small field will aid chances and has winning claims. SPIN ME ROUND (4) did a good job to finish third last time out over 520m at this track (30.90) in a Class 1, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can improve sharply here. GROOT'S GALAXY (7) was a last start winner (25.72) at Manawatu in a Class 1 and will jump from box 7 for the first time. Must be included in calculations. BET REJECTED (3) cannot be ruled out for a minor placing.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (17.98) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Must respect.

Last start finished 3rd over 520m at this track beaten 12 lengths (30.90) behind Iconic End in a Class 1 on November 14. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Consistent performer who is clearly the one to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Likely to struggle this time.
