Palmerston North Race 3

THE TAB DOG BOX 3 PBD

Stake: $3,100

BIG TIME BULLET (3) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 3.5 lengths into third (17.81) at Wanganui in a Class 4 over 305m. Has a strong record out of this box with eight wins and three minor placings from 15 starts. Winning claims. THRILLING CARLOS (2) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 0.9 lengths into second (17.51) at Wanganui in a Class 5 over 305m. Must be included in calculations. BARRY BOWLER (4) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 3.5 lengths third (21.39) in a Class 4/5. This is tougher but expected to be in the finish. TIRA MISS YOU (5) can make a quick beginning and has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey.

Hit the frame latest (17.81) when third at Wanganui in a Class 4. Strong record off the draw with eight wins and three minors from 15 starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (21.34) over 375m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and prefer the place this line-up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Other runners look much more appealing.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (17.88) at Wanganui. Could pose a serious challenge if finds best this time.

Looks close to another win after his success on February 12 at Wanganui Straight over 313m. Last start was third over 313m in 17.37, behind Blackcurrant. Among the chances with the right run.
