Whanganui Straight Race 10

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ HATRICK C3 313M PBD

Stake: $2,800

CLIFF TOP VINNIE (4) was well off top last time, finishing 5th (30.90) in a Class 2/3 at Wanganui. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including two wins. Bold showing expected. OUR BOY ROMEO (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 17.50 beating You Sassy Minx. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature again. BIG TIME TAWNY (5) was well fancied in the betting last start and came home well from midfield to finish second (22.04). The form out of his last race has been franked. Overdue and gets his chance. Something for the Multiples: BIG TIME FERN (3)

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on April 8 over 375m at Manawatu behind Big Time Nico beaten a neck (22.04) in a Class 3. Top-three hope with the right run.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 313m at this track in a handy (17.50), beating You Sassy Minx. Has ability and worth including.
