Hatrick Race 6

SPORTZ BAR WANGANUI C4 520M FEATURE

Prize Money: $7,182

BENNY'S BEST BET (6) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at Manawatu over 457m behind BIG TIME GUNNAR (26.86) in a Class 4. Was in the money the start prior. Can make amends. ZEUS'S MAGIC (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (26.34) at Manawatu behind BIG TIME GUNNAR in a Class 4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature again. STAR BOYS SHOUT (1) is in top form scoring comfortably at last two, winning by 5 lengths (26.05) last time and by 2.25 lengths (16.86) two back. Must be included in calculations despite having first look at this circuit. DONNA ANNE BILLY (5) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing. Not the quickest to jump but does run home powerfully.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.66) in a Class 5 H, finishing a 10 length fourth. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Manawatu over 457m in 26.19 last start, beating Hey Driver. Has clocked a slick 30.15 Best Time here at the trip. Solid chance with even luck.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a Class 4 on April 14 over 457m at Manawatu behind Big Time Gunnar beaten 2.25 lengths (26.34). Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Right in the mix again.
