Whanganui Race 9

THE TAB BOX DOG C4 305M PBD

Stake: $3,500

BIG TIME AXEL (4) recorded a win over 375m at Manawatu in a dynamic 21.32 last start. In form and rates on top again. BIG TIME JUNE (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Manawatu over 375m behind Homebush Henry (22.51) in a Class 4. Was in the money the start prior. Comes through a solid form race last start. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. TIRA MISS YOU (5) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same box when a 1.5 lengths third (21.48) in a Class 4 at Manawatu. Expected to feature. BORA BORA (8) won well two runs back and can fill a top-three spot.

Was among the placegetters latest at Manawatu when a 1.5 lengths third but did clock a sharp 21.48 over the 375m journey. Expecting another bold showing.

Hit the frame latest (18.81) when second at Manukau in a Class 4. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Did a good job two starts back at Wanganui Straight to win by a nose in 17.27, beating Big Time Nico. Last start finished 6th in a Class 4 on July 15 over 313m at Wanganui Straight behind You Sassy Minx beaten 2.5 lengths (17.69). Capable of taking this out.
