BIG TIME BAM (2) isn't a quick beginner but comes home hard, winding up to place two back then finishing on strongly last time when third (30.76) in a Class 3/4 at Wanganui. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from five starts. Key chance in this line up. CEPHALOPOD (1) missed the frame last time at this track but just three runs back rocketed around 375m at this track in 21.28. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. BIG TIME HILARY (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (31.27) in a Class 3/4 at Wanganui. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Worth following up. TALKIN' TRASH (5) is not to be discarded.
