Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 STAKES

Prize Money: $4,727

OPAWA JOSEPH (2) was in the money last time at this track (30.53) in a Class 3, finishing a nose second. Has already won out of this draw. Expected to be in the finish. SOMETHING BOLD (5) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (30.68) last time in a Class 4 at this track. Does drop down in class for this and has to be in the mix. CLASSY HUNTER (4) clocked a sharp 17.02 when placed over 295m at this track last start in a Class 2 FIN. Does step up to a middle distance and a bold showing expected again. JAY WALKER (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (25.99) at Ascot Park. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Will appreciate a return to this track.

Last start finished fifth over 525m at this track, beaten 6 lengths (30.93) behind Super Saiyan in a Class 3 on February 26. Will not find this easy. Happy to risk this time.

Placed last time (25.99) at Ascot Park in a Class 2/3, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a solid hope.

Missed the frame latest (30.76) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Class 3. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Prefer in something easier.
