Hatrick Race 9

HATRICK CLASSIC (GROUP 1) FINAL

Prize Money: $45,455

OPAWA HASS (4) can keep up the top recent form following a quick 30.15 win two back with a Class 5 H victory at this track over 520m in 29.96. Clocking fast times and looks a key chance again here. ORIGINAL WARRIOR (3) recorded a 4.5 lengths win (29.79) in a Class 5 H last time at this track. Has three wins already from this draw. Is a very quick beginner from the lids and should be around the money. OPAWA FANNIN (2) produced a powerful 30.05 winning over 520m at this track last start. In form and must include in calculations. XISCO BALE (6) scored by one length last time (30.09) in a Class 5 H over 520m at this track. Has three wins already from this draw. Meets a very smart field today with plenty of winning chances.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 520m at this track in a handy (30.09), beating Romantic Rebel. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.75 lengths second at this track but did record a solid 30.25 over the 520m trip. Slow to jump will hinder chances.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Manawatu over 457m in 25.92 last start, beating Big Time Tama. Excellent record from this draw, including three wins. Winning hope with the right run.
