Hawera Race 3 - HAWERA CLUB
PRE NUP (5) caught the eye when running on late to finish ninth on debut as a loose favourite at Ellerslie and then set the record straight with a gutsy win by a head at Matamata nearly 4 weeks ago over a mile. She may already be looking for more ground, but she has plenty of upside and can win again. BRIDIE (4) progressed nicely to score at just her third start when scoring by a neck at New Plymouth nearly a month ago. She is beautifully placed again after a 4kg claim, and she will go close to repeating. CAPACI (2) likes it wet, and she put it all together to score comfortably at Whanganui 4 weeks ago over this trip. She will continue to race well while the tracks remain wet, and she has each-way claims again. BELLES BOOM (1) did well to finish third off a wide gate at Whanganui last start, and he is peaking at the right time here. A superior gate and an extra 240m make him a big top 3 hope again. IKAN (6) is not the worst when considering wider options for top 4 combos.

Hasn't been too far away in recent outings, the latest offering a third over 1360m at Wanganui four weeks ago. Had excuses on that occasion. Solid top three prospects.

Lightly raced filly who progressed nicely last start with a win by 1.3 lengths over 1600m at Wanganui. Shapes up nicely.

Solid effort last start, beaten 1.2 lengths into second over 1400m at Waverley. Solid top-4 chance with a repeat of that latest performance.

Ran a couple of nice races to launch this preparation and then relished getting out to the mile last start when she won at New Plymouth Raceway. Further improvement in store. One of the main top 4 contenders.

Recorded her maiden success three back but has missed the placings at the last two appearances, most recently when fifth over 1600m at New Plymouth Raceway. Well placed so don't underestimate.
