Hatrick Race 3

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI C2/3 520M

Prize Money: $4,727

PUMBAA AND TIMON (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a long neck at Manawatu in a handy 26.02 beating Save Time. Will be running home stronger than most. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. GROOT'S GALAXY (5) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 4.5 lengths third (26.12) at Manawatu in Class 1. Steps up in class but is a winning chance. BIG TIME BRAVE (3) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start eighth (26.48) at Manawatu. Solid record here at the distance winning 16 races. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Predicted to show very good early pace and lead them for a long way. A big run wouldn't surprise. BIG TIME ASHTON (4) was out of placings last time (31.24) at this track in a Class 4, finishing sixth and beaten 14 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. Down grades in class today.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 520m. Should show more than the latest offering. Capable of taking this out.

Good effort last time when third (26.07) over 457m at Manawatu. Wide draw here. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
