Addington Race 8

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS NZ BREEDERS STAKES HEAT 2

Prize Money: $6,091

DIAMOND ALICE (5) was out of the placings last time when sixth at this track (17.57) but scored four back at this track (17.05). Is the highest rated dog in this field and won't get a better opportunity to see out the middle distance. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MINNIE ANGEL (8) was in winning form two back (31.24) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Has the ability to give this a shake. OPAWA EMILY (6) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 1.75 lengths third (30.68) behind Dalgety at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Winning chance. DEFER (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when sixth (17.61), beaten 6 lengths. Steps up to a middle distance and races over the sprint trip as if the extra distance will suit.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when sixth (17.61) at this track. Leading chance on best form.

Backs up after finishing 6th on February 2 over 525m at this track in a Class 1 H. Would be better placed in something easier.

On debut at this trip. Last start finished sixth at this track over 295m in (17.57). With even luck and a clean start she should be very hard to beat.

Won two starts back won at this course over 525m. Couldn't reproduced the effort last start when she finished 2nd on February 2 over 525m at this track behind Glasses beaten 1.75 lengths (30.33) in a Class 1 H. Happy to risk this time.
