Whanganui Race 7

NZ FUTURITY (GROUP 1) HT 2 R/A 520M

Stake: $6,300

BOOM DYNAMITE (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with six wins and eight minors from 17 tries. Recorded a one length win (30.18) in a Class 5 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best form. ROMANTIC REBEL (1) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from four starts. Hit the frame latest (26.24) when third at Ascot Park in a Class 5. Suited here and expected to run well. SO STRICT (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 18 times for six wins and five minors. Below best last time at this track (30.57) in a Class 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. BIG TIME ZIP (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Manukau (31.01) beating Opawa Philipa in a SPECA on June 8. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 30.74 when second at Manukau latest but the run prior he clocked a slick 30.18 over 525m finishing second at Addington. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 4 lengths in 30.44, beating Big Time Tama. Last start finished last in a Class 4 on June 13 over 520m at this track behind Big Time Bam beaten 14 lengths (31.06). Hard to recommend this time.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by one length in a Class 5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 30.18 over the 520m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.65) over 525m at Addington. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
