IT IS back to a normal Friday race meeting at Hatrick following the running of the $26,000 New Zealand Breeders' Stakes last week.

The Group 1 event resulted in a deserved win for the locally Glen Hodgson-prepared Kilchurn who cruised home for an effortless four-length victory.

This evening's TAB Triple Trio has been guaranteed to $10,000, which requires punters to select the first three greyhounds to finish in races 6-8.

A percentage investment, boxing as many runners as you can is the recommended way of attacking this Triple Trio.

In the first leg, Homebush Spook has drawn the ace trap from where he can make his presence felt. Opawa Token benefits from an easing in class.

He's A Jessie wasn't able to cross from a wide trap last week. His prior win here held merit and drawing closer to the rail is likely to assist him.

Others who hold stakes earning claims include Meg's My Mum and Wall Age.

In the second leg, New Zealand Oaks winner Aeroplane Ritzy has drawn to deliver on her ability.

Drawing the ace trap has brought the noted railer Where's Shiraz right into contention.

Cawbourne Phillip was a stylish lower grade 520m winner here last Friday, while Red Crystal enjoyed the significant easing in class she received when delivering her bold second last time out. Botany Richie is likely to be sighted putting in some big late bounds here.

The third leg is perhaps the toughest of the three, where a stakes earning claim can be made for all runners.

Therefore securing trap one says that Opawa Messini looms as a solid contender despite him dropping back in distance for this 305m dash.

The handy draw that Cawbourne Teash receives says she must be considered.

Azzure Dreams can ping and run so she's needed here.

The locally trained Snow Demon won't object about being drawn out wide, while Cawbourne George is capable of sniffing out a minor placing.
