The quality Friday evening Hatrick racing continues with last week's stylish Palamountains Nutrition Wanganui Cup winner Bigtime Paddy again the headline act in tonight's The Rock 95.2FM open class 520m event (Race 10).

There's also a cracking field of stayers engaged in the Palamountains Scientific Nutrition C1/2D 645m clash (Race 11).

The Lisa Cole-prepared Bigtime Paddy was all class when he easily disposed of his Wanganui Cup rivals, landing his third Group 1 title by a comfortable two length margin, clocking 29.99s.

The victory was Paddy's 44th from 80 race day outings and he heads into this evening's assignment as the winner of $220,233 in stake earnings.

He'll have to exit smartly from the six trap if he's going to extend his current winning streak out to ten straight wins.

Drawn to make her presence felt from Trap 2 is Paddy's kennel mate Bigtime Twinkle.

She was brave when she contested the early pace in the Wanganui Cup before she faded a tad, finishing fourth.

Ask King Jeff struck traffic issues when going into the first turn which terminated his cup claims.

He has drawn to swoop from Trap 8 here for Cole.

Looking to break up the Cole domination here is Arden Emgrand for trainer Angela Turnwald.

He has proven to be competitive in his 520m outings.

Cawbourne Krusty was super impressive when the Matt Roberts-trained stayer made her first appearance in a staying event last Friday.

She cruised to her effortless 645m victory in 37.79s scoring by 7.25 lengths.

Krusty adopted pace-making tactics from Trap 6 then she'll be looking to do likewise from the same trap tonight.

Her kennelmate Cawbourne Taylor was really gallant when she finished second in last Friday's Wanganui Stayers over 755m at Group 2 level.

She raced handy to the pace throughout then and she is likely to do the same from Trap 5 here.

Roberts also provides last Friday's runner up Cawbourne Trixy.

Don't Knocka Gee owns an abundance of talent for Cole.

She is more than capable of taking this event out, however to do she must take the early race lead from Trap 4, as she detests being crowded in a field.

Iris Allen gamely stuck to her task for her third in the 755m feature last week for Turnwald.

She is expected to hold the rail from Trap 1 this evening.
