Hatrick Race 9

JUNCTION TAVERN GONVILLE C3 520M

Prize Money: $5,818

JILLIBY FINALE (3) is in top form lately including a swift win at Manawatu in 25.99 two back then backing it up with a 25.85 victory at Manawatu over 457m latest. Seems to have regained confidence. Recent figures good for this and can measure up again. RATHER CONVINCED (2) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (26.13), beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Has ability and can atone. SAVE TIME (4) led early but gathered in and found a bit of trouble before missing the frame with a 5.5 lengths sixth (26.32) in a Class 3 at Manawatu. Usually a reliable beginner and can measure up this time. LIGHTING SPACE (6) scored by a long neck last time (25.93) in a Class 3 over 457m at Manawatu. Has two wins already from this draw.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 457m at Manawatu beaten 2.75 lengths (26.13) behind Lighting Space in a Class 3 on June 23. Placed two back at Manawatu. Has been racing well. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row.

Won again in quick time after running them ragged to make it two on end at Manawatu over 457m (25.85). Worth following up.

Last start finished last in a Class 3 on June 23 over 457m at Manawatu behind Lighting Space beaten 5.5 lengths (26.32). Has run slick time here with a 30.1 PB at the distance. Key chance and should go close.

Good effort last time when second (25.96) over 457m at Manawatu. Drawn awkwardly. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

Good effort to win last start by a long neck over 457m at Manawatu in a handy (25.93), beating Groot's Galaxy. In winning form and can measure up again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Manawatu over 375m in 21.39. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 457m at Manawatu at Class 3 level. Prepared to risk.
