Hatrick Race 7

ALL THE NEWS @ TRACKSIDE C4/5 520M

Prize Money: $6,091

AVATAR SPEED (4) won again and recorded an impressive time after leading to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 0.7 lengths (25.88) at Manawatu over 457m. Won at his only start from this draw. Seems to be beginning better in recent starts. In great form and can continue his winning ways. FAIRWAY FLYER (2) was unfancied latest but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by a long neck (30.07) at this track in Class 3 over 520m. Brilliant beginner who should be leading the way here. Expecting another bold showing. BENNY'S BEST BET (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Manawatu over 457m behind Tapu Girl (26.34) in a Class 5. Was in the money the start prior. Cannot be taken lightly from the ace. LULU'S DREAM (5) was below best last time at Manawatu (26.04) in a Class 5, finishing a 5 length fourth. Has already won two times from this draw. Does drop down in class for this race.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by a long neck in a Class 3 last start at this track, recording a blistering 30.07 over the 520m journey. Expected to go well.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished sixth over 457m at Manawatu, beaten 8 lengths. Happy to risk this time.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. Has an outstanding 29.99 best time at this course and distance. This appears within her reach.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (26.29) in a Class 4, finishing a 3 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Can feature with the right run.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at Addington. Happy enough to avoid.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 457m at Manawatu in a handy (25.85), beating Classy Hunter. Should be around the mark.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
