Addington Race 10

O'SHEA'S PUBLIC HOUSE STAKES

Prize Money: $6,091

STUCK THROTTLE (6) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (30.48) at this track. Raced in a slightly stronger field last start and can discover winning form today. TWISTED TRUTH (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at this track over 525m behind Opawa Hass (30.75) in a R/A FIN. Worth another chance. IT'S OKAY (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (30.77) last time in a R/A FIN at this track. Can measure up this time with luck in running. OPAWA SCOOTER (4) comes off a (29.94) win last time, scoring by 7 lengths in a Class 3 over 525m at this track. Has already won two times from this draw. Steps up in class but can measure up.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 8 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Might find this too tough.

Did a good job two starts back at Ascot Park to win by 4.5 lengths in 22.72, beating Officer Ridley. Last start finished 6th on February 12 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Mark beaten 8 lengths (31.01) in a Class 4/5. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner

Last Starts days since last start
