Addington Race 9

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Prize Money: $6,091

IT'S OKAY (7) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 2.5 lengths away in second (30.66). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to feature in the finish again. OPAWA HASS (1) is a promising type who notched his 16th career success when too good (30.14) at this track last time. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Sure to measure up from the ace. OPAWA POSTMAN (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.48 beating IT'S OKAY. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Leading player again. PAW STRIKER (3) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate. Meets a talented field today.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.14 last start, beating Original Warrior. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy 30.48, beating It's Okay. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Go close again.
