Hawera Race 3 - JASON HOLDEM CONTRACTING R65 1200
TRADER INN (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1200m at Waverley three-and-a-half weeks ago. He has much more to offer and can remain unbeaten. RABEGA (1) is a dual winner. Can handle the 2kg more here and is proven on dry and wet footing. MACALUSO (4) she is a multiple class dropper resuming here. Won her Maiden fresh up. Chance here. TRAUMA (3) is ready to resume after two trials (for win and a second). Won his Maiden first up last campaign. Cannot be omitted. GET FUNKY (6) was not too bad in three of her last five starts. All her form has come on dry footing and is a place or first four chance in a small field.
