Addington Race 10

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Prize Money: $5,364

PAW ZACHARY (3) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Magic Jonty (31.18) in a Class 4. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Capable of going well again. FIREMAN FRED (6) is better than last start when fourth (31.30) from Box 4 at this track over 525m. Drops in class today and is worth another chance. MINNIE ANGEL (4) is a talented type who jumped from a squeeze box but quickly into stride and led throughout to score (31.24) at this track in Class 3 over 525m. Strike rate this distance strong having won four of six tries. Rises in class but should feature again. WOLF BLAST WEST (7) must be respected despite a fall here most recently. Hopefully has lost no confidence from last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.92) in a Class 4, finishing a 11 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from nine starts. Not among the main chances this time.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 525m at this track (31.24), beating Opawa Joseph. Query squeeze box draw. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
