Whanganui Race 9

ALL THE NEWS @ TRACKSIDE C5 520M

Stake: $6,300

BIG TIME BRAVE (3) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (30.23) at this track in Class 5 over 520m. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Looks to have an edge on most of these. BOOM DYNAMITE (4) has a strong record here with five wins and seven placings from 15 starts. Hit the frame latest (30.33) when second at Addington in a R/A FIN. Looks like one of the chances. BLAZIN' MASTER (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (30.94) at this track over 520m. Is yet to miss the placings from this draw, including seven wins, from 12 starts. Warrants plenty of respect. BIG TIME ZIP (2) gave nothing else a chance most recently. That form reads well.

Was the fastest winner on the program after running them ragged making it three straight at this track over 520m (30.23). Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Placed last time (30.33) at Addington in a R/A FIN, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Box stats strong with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 30.60, beating Big Time Super. Last start finished 4th over 520m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.93) behind Big Time Brave in a Class 5 on May 9. Prepared to overlook.
