It's the C4 greyhounds who will provide the main chasing action during this evening's Hatrick race meeting.

All of the chasers involved in the Race 10, 520m Wanganui Toyota Stakes are one-win away from attaining open class status.

Baring a dead heat, one of them will do so when judge Jack Cooper confirms his placings.

Fall From Grace makes her return to this venue for trainer Angela Turnwald following her gutsy effort in last Sunday's Auckland hosted Group 2 NZ Sires' Produce Stakes.

She was dive-bombed late when attempting to lead her rivals throughout in the 527m event.

She is likely to use those same racing tactics tonight and she will prove hard to haul back in by doing so.

Matty Roberts will be looking to deny her that win with his proven pair of greyhounds Cawbourne Brick and Cawbourne Cooks.

Cawbourne Brick was gallant when chasing home a real smart dog when he was last presented over 457m at the Manawatu Raceway.

His known strength at the business end can be a telling factor and he has drawn nicely for his racing style in the two-trap.

Cawbourne Cooks was also bold when taking on the open class chasers in last Friday's C4/5 520m event.

He missed the win by three-quarters of a length and he can go one better here.

Stepping up in class after his solid 30.46s, C3/4 520m win last Friday is Hawkesbury Fever, also from the Turnwald kennels.

This bloke is still at the improving stage and a competitive effort can be expected from him.

Looking to steal the show from those above is the locally Heather Kite prepared Making Time. She will step from the ace-trap and her known early pace can make things rather interesting for a long way here.

Keep a close eye on the first reserve Winsome Jenny if she gains a race start here. She has been Group 1 placed on this track and this Lisa Ahern trained girl has the racing nous to make her presence strongly felt if she's required to race.
