Hatrick Straight Race 9

ALL THE NEWS @ TRACKSIDE C3 313M PBD

Prize Money: $3,273

LIGHTING SPACE (4) is a handy type who was well below best latest at Manawatu, finishing seventh (26.14) in a Class 3/4. Generally safe to begin but was always well back last time. Should bounce back today. NOT OKAY (1) goes very well at this journey having never missed the frame including four wins and six placings. In the money last time at Wanganui (17.73) in a Class 3, finishing a 3 length second. Looks suited here and can measure up from the plum draw. ROCKIN' ROGER (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Tin Tin Bust (17.85) in a Class 3. Expected to be in this for a long way. MILLIE'S CHOICE (8) placed at long odds last time and cannot be ignored. Loves the wide box draw so should get every chance.

Was out of the placings last time at Manawatu but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Can threaten.

Placed last time (17.85) at this track in a Class 3, finishing second and beaten 0.6 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from seven starts from the draw. Solid each-way chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 375m at Manawatu. Others read better.
