Palmerston North Race 4

OUTBACK TRADING COMPANY

Stake: $4,400

HEY DRIVER (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.83) in a Class 2/3 at Wanganui latest, but did run well two back when in the frame. He is expected to bounce back from the perfect inside box draw. BIG TIME URBAN (2) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Wanganui over 520m behind Opawa Jordan (31.04) in a Class 2/3. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Should be in this for a long way. HENDRIX RULER (6) won again in an impressive display after running them ragged, making it four straight, scoring at Ascot Park over 457m (26.59). The form from his last run stacks up well. Hard to fault recent form and looks a key chance again. KNOW MATCH (5) can find the frame without surprising.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 520m at Wanganui beaten 9 lengths (30.83) behind Opawa Jordan in a Class 2/3 on April 11. Placed two back at this track. Has run blistering time here with a 25.76 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Was out of placings last time (31.04) at Wanganui in a Class 2/3, finishing seventh and beaten 12 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Backs up after finishing 5th on April 11 over 520m at Wanganui in a Class 4. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Won his last four in a row including a narrow win last start over 457m at Ascot Park by a nose in a Class 2. In hot form and can take this out.

Missed the frame last start when a 4 length sixth (17.99) at Wanganui Straight. Previous form sound including a win three back at Wanganui. Has ability and looks a key chance.
