Whanganui Race 12

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ HATRICK C2 305M PBD

Stake: $3,000

BIG TIME CORTEZ (8) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Big Time Phil (18.14) in a Class 3. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Can go on with it. PAPERBACK (5) is mixing form and out of the placings last time, but was a Class 1 winner three starts ago and moves to Box 5 this time, where she has performed well. Rates a winning chance on best. BOSSY ADOBE (2) goes very well this trip, starting nine times for three wins and three minors. Comes off a (18.00) win last time, scoring by a nose in a Class 1 over 305m at this track. Looks like a key chance on her best figures. HEY MR. STARTER (3) can make a quick beginning and looks like an each-way chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 305m in 18.00 last start, beating Big Time Telea. Can make it back to back wins.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (21.69) over 375m at Manawatu. Draws an inside box and can measure up.
