Hatrick Race 4

MOORE LAW WHANGANUI C2/3 520M

Prize Money: $4,727

PRESSURE'S ON (6) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Comes off a (26.00) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Class 2 over 457m at Manawatu. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. HIGHBURY HEIGHTS (7) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when eighth (26.63), beaten 6 lengths. Has ability and is one of the better chances. GROOT'S GALAXY (2) was crowded for room and fell this course and distance last time. Has the ability and looks a key chance. RATHER CONVINCED (3) was out of placings last time (26.38) at Manawatu in a Class 2, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Already a winner from this draw. Meets a competitive field today.

Finished second last start (26.20) over 457m at Manawatu. Boxed the fence this time. Looks a solid contender.

Was in commission but ran below his best last start when fell (33.64) over 520m at this track. Tricky box latest but drawn closer to the inside here. Forget last start and follow up here.

Hit the frame latest (26.27) when third at Manawatu in a Class 2. Has two wins and two placings from seven starts from the draw. Does have very good early box speed. Place claims.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Class 3/4 on March 3 over 457m at Manawatu behind Pumbaa And Timon beaten 6 lengths (26.63). Placed two back at Wanganui Straight. Expected to bounce right back. Makes strong appeal.

Good effort to win last start by 1.1 lengths over 520m at this track in a handy (30.34), beating Need An Uber. Can figure again.
