SUPREME SITE WORKS

Prize Money: $5,364

OPAWA FANNIN (1) is an honest type in the frame at nine of 20 starts including last time when second (30.44) over 525m at Addington. Recent racing has been against stronger fields. Has the inside draw and looks tough to beat. MINNIE ANGEL (4) is an honest type in the frame at six of 14 starts including last time when second (30.51) over 525m at Addington. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. MINI BULL (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 26.59 beating Sneaky Lu. Expecting another bold showing. DREAM AHEAD (8) is worth some thought after placing last start. Recent racing over the shorter journey and steps up in distance today.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (30.47) over 525m at Addington. Among the chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.82) in a Class 4, finishing a 7 length fifth. Has two successes and five minors from 12 starts from box 3. With a clean start should be thereabouts.

Latest effort finished 2nd on February 12 over 525m at Addington behind Opawa Emily beaten 3.5 lengths (30.51) in a R/A FIN. The form out of the last run measures up. The one to beat.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 457m at this track (26.59), beating Sneaky Lu. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 5 at this track when a 1.3 lengths second but did run a decent 26.14 over the 457m journey. This might be too rich.
