Hatrick Race 9

THE POLICY SHIFT STAKES C4 520M

Prize Money: $7,364

PRESSURE'S ON (3) is a classy pup building a strong winning record at the journey. Has quickly put himself into the picture to win the last couple of runs. Latest win recorded a handy 30.32 at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should strip even fitter today. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. CHILD PRODIGY (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.5 lengths win at Wanganui Straight in a handy 17.13. Fair draw can see a good run and in form and has the ability. Expected to feature again. CROSSFIT QUEEN (6) missed the frame latest when sixth at Wanganui Straight (17.56) but scored three back at Manawatu (25.89). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. BENNY'S BEST BET (8) returned to form last start and should be thereabouts today.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.94) in a Class 4, finishing a 10 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from four starts. Will need the right run.

Finished third last start (30.45) at big odds over 520m at this track. Wide draw here. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Good performance to win by a neck at Wanganui Straight over 313m (17.32) beating Millie's Choice in Class 4 on July 28. In form and is right in the mix again.
