Hatrick Straight Race 3

BETCHA BOX 4 C4 313M PBD

Prize Money: $4,818

GROOT'S GALAXY (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.53) in a Class 4/5 at Whanganui latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. MOJITO DREAMS (5) has a strong record here with seven wins and two placings from 15 starts. Was out of placings last time (21.50) at Manawatu in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Can feature with the right run. CHILD PRODIGY (6) goes very well at the course and distance with four wins and a placing from seven starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.88) at Whanganui in a Class 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Gets a slight down grade here and makes strong appeal on best. JANE'S PANAMA (4) meets a competitive field today but is worth consideration at decent value.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 527m at Manukau. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Class 3 at Whanganui and clocking a fast 17.65 over the 305m trip. Can atone this time.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including four wins. Forget the latest effort. Among the main chances.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 375m at Manawatu. Likely to find this a bit tough.
