Palmerston North Race 9

Professional Concrete Services Ltd R/A Feature

Stake: $2,500

BIG TIME BULLET (4) lines up here off a comfortable win at this track after jumping from box 3 (21.08). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Well placed and can measure up. SMOKING IVAN (2) has a strong record here with seven wins and a minor placing from 12 starts. Below best last time at Wanganui (30.73) when finishing fifth. Looks suited here and can measure up. GOLDSTAR KODA (1) turned in a solid run last start over 305m at Wanganui finishing 4th and beaten by only 3 lengths (17.83). Goes very well from this draw with six wins and three minor placings from 12 starts. Cannot be underestimated. BIG TIME BORA (7) comes off a (21.39) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 1/2 over 375m at this track. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs. Hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time (17.83) at Wanganui in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Box stats strong with six wins and three placings from 12 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 410m. Last start finished 5th over 520m at Wanganui beaten 8 lengths (30.73) behind Johnny Football in a R/A H on June 21. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 20.86. Top chance.

Impressive performance to score by 2 lengths in a Class 4/5 last start at this track, clocking an outstanding 21.08 for the 375m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Surprised two starts back at Addington to win by 0.7 lengths in 30.22, beating Gold Doug. Last start finished 5th on June 28 over 520m at Wanganui behind Federal Infrared beaten 4.5 lengths (30.49) in a Class 4/5. Others have better credentials.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 21.39 last start, beating Adobe Don. In winning form now and looks a major threat.
