Whanganui Race 12

BOOK YOUR FUNCTION @ HATRICK C3 305M PBD

Stake: $3,200

BIG TIME CORTEZ (8) latest effort finished 3rd over 305m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (18.02) behind Big Time Clarke in a Class 3 on July 25. Looks a leading chance and expected to go close. TIRA MISS YOU (5) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (17.91) last time in a Class 4 at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. BIG TIME MEGHAN (4) was below best last time but prior to that followed a placing with a close up fourth at this track. Can find the frame this time. BARRY BOWLER (3) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (18.04) when fourth over 305m at this track in a Class 3. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks one of the chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at Manawatu (21.92) in a Class 3, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth. Has four successes and eight minors from 16 starts from box 4. Makes appeal on best.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths seventh (22.12) at Manawatu. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Looks tested and others preferred this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Happy enough to avoid.
