Hatrick Straight Race 9

ALL THE NEWS @ TRACKSIDE C2 313M PBD

Prize Money: $3,273

HIGHBURY HEIGHTS (1) was a little disappointing last start at Wanganui when 5th (30.98) over 520m. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including two wins. Promising young dog who is ready to return to form. SUNBIRD STRIKER (5) is better than last start when fifth (18.06) in a Class 2 at Wanganui over 305m. Form at the trip excellent including three wins. Has ability and is one of the better chances. MAPLE LEAF (2) filled a minor placing last start at Wanganui behind Cliff Top Banger (17.97) in a Class 2. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Leading chance. SIREN SOUNDS (7) found the trip to far last start, form at this distance reads well. Throw into all exotic bets.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Key chance on best form.

Recorded a nose win (17.71) in a Class 1 last time at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and nine places from 20 starts. Others have better credentials.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 305m at Wanganui beaten 5 lengths (18.06) behind Cliff Top Banger in a Class 2 on December 12. Placed two back at Manawatu. Has been racing well. Well placed and should feature.
