Hatrick Straight Race 5 - $159.2 MILLION CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY C5 313M PBD
OPAWA SIMPSON (3) produced an eye catching 25.72 to claim a Class 4/5 over 457m at Manawatu last start. Has really turned the corner of late. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. BLITZ ATTACK (1) is unbeaten here in three starts. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (25.86) in a R/A last time at Cambridge Raceway. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts from the ace box. STAR BOY EXPRESS (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with 12 wins and 11 minors from 36 tries. Scored by 1.2 lengths last time (17.36) in a Class 4/5 over 313m at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. OLD SCHOOL (4) jumps at a shorter journey but still warrants respect. Getting on in years so the straight track suits.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 457m at Cambridge Raceway in a handy 25.86, beating Sweet Bonanza. Well suited by the draw. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Makes strong appeal.

Ran a better race when second behind Opawa Simpson at Manawatu last start over 457m (26.14). The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.48) in a Class 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Boasts two wins and four places from six starts off the draw. Makes appeal on best.
