Hatrick Straight Race 5

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI C5 313M PBD

Prize Money: $4,364

BIG TIME TOBY (3) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (26.30) at Manawatu. Should be very hard to beat this time. OPAWA KEITH (5) could not have been more impressive last start in his an enormous 17.19 win at this track over 313m. Top win latest and rates a key player again. BIG TIME MORANT (2) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Manawatu following on from a second place finish (21.92) there the start prior. Likely to be thereabouts. BIG TIME MARTIN (6) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back to form.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (21.85) in a Class 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Has two wins and two placings from eight starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 4th on July 8 over 457m at Manawatu behind Big Time Brave beaten 4 lengths (26.30) in a Class 5. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (39.79) in a Class 0, finishing a 10 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
