Hatrick Straight Race 10

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ HATRICK C4 313M PBD

Prize Money: $3,545

OPAWA KEITH (4) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. Scored by 0.8 lengths last time (17.76) in a Class 3 over 313m at this track. Looks well placed and should feature. BIG TIME MUSTER (5) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (17.90) in a Class 4 at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. RUN AWAY BLUE (7) is super consistent overall, having placed 23 of 47 career runs. Finished second (17.80) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Must be included in calculations. SILKY ADOBE (6) can't be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing. Include in exotic bets.

Lifted to win two runs back and got the cash again last start over 313m at this track (17.76,) beating You Sassy Minx. Query squeeze box draw. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Was out of placings last time (18.12) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Expected to go close.

In the money last time at this track (17.80) in a Class 4, finishing a long neck second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from seven starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.
