Hatrick Straight Race 5

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI C5 313M PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

CRIMINAL MINDS (2) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won four times from four starts. Placed last time (30.22) at Wanganui in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Beaten by a smart dog last start, looks suited and should go close. LOGGER FOR LIFE (3) is a promising type who notched his 13th career success when too good (17.76) at Wanganui last time. New to this venue but is a smart dog on his day. Significant danger. MY MINI ME (6) goes very well this trip starting five times for three wins and two minors. Placed last time (30.42) at Wanganui in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. STAR BOY EXPRESS (7) warrants respect with the drop in journey. Predicted to stay wide and finish the race out strongly.

Was among the placegetters latest at Wanganui when a 3 length second but did clock a slick 30.22 over the 520m trip. Looks ready to win.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 0.7 lengths at Wanganui (17.76) beating Big Time Axel in a Class 4 on November 21. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.

In the money last time at Wanganui (30.42) in a Class 5, finishing a 2.25 lengths second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Suited here and expected to run well.
