Whanganui Race 6

NZ FUTURITY (GROUP 1) HT 1 R/A 520M

Stake: $6,300

BIG TIME TOBY (5) has missed the frame the last couple but just a few runs back pushed the clock when winning over 520m at this track, taking a R/A in a quick 30.16. Can measure up on top win three back. BIG TIME MAESTRO (6) could manage only third at Wanganui Straight last time but turned heads when posting a brilliant 30.08 over 520m at this track the start prior. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. HEY DRIVER (1) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and four placings from 12 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.40) when fourth over 520m at this track in a Class 5. Can feature with the right run. VALDERRAMA (2) has placed in four of her last five starts and has each-way claims over this journey.

Was out of the placings last time at Addington but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Aided by a low draw but needs to bounce back.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an impressive winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 0.6 lengths in a Class 5 at this track and clocking a hot 30.08 for the 520m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 525m at Addington in a handy 30.58, beating Minnie Lu. In winning form and can measure up again.
