Palmerston North Race 3

ACCELL THERAPY NZ PBD

Stake: $4,400

HENDRIX RULER (6) was impressive last start despite finishing second, recording a brilliant 21.09 to place behind Jerry Cola and clocking a new PB this course and distance. Beaten by a very smart dog last start. Going well and rates on top. BIG TIME LIME (7) is progressing well scoring last time out (17.82) at Wanganui and bringing up her 27th career win. Solid record here at this trip including nine wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. One of the leading chances again. KING HARVEST (2) has a strong record this track and trip with 16 wins and 10 placings from 36 starts. Below best last time at this track (21.39) in a Class 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Is a quick beginner and looks a key chance on best figures. SHADES OF SPACE (5) scored by 2.75 lengths last time (17.61) in a Class 5 over 305m at Wanganui. Has already won three times from this draw. Top chance in a tidy field.

Finished fifth last time but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by a nose in a Class 5 at this track and clocking a brilliant 21.12 for the 375m trip. Leading chance on best form.

Finished third last time (17.97) over 313m at Wanganui Straight. Drawn close to the inside. Might find this too tough.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2.75 lengths at Wanganui over 305m (17.61) beating Fergie's Girl in Class 5 on November 28. Winner at the latest run in one of the quickest times on the card. Solid showing expected.
