Addington Extra Race 1

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Prize Money: $6,091

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with 18 wins and 14 minors from 44 tries. Below best last time at this track (30.94) in a Class 5, finishing a 10 length eighth. Usually begins well and plays from in front. Expected to go close. STUCK THROTTLE (4) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind THERAPY TEX (30.72) in a Class 4/5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Worth another chance. PAW STRIKER (5) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (30.78), beaten 5.5 lengths. Expected to give a good account. THERAPY TEX (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage fifth (30.81) at this track. Not the quickest into stride but sustains a solid gallop to the line.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 9 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Tough ask.
