Addington Race 1

BALCAIRN STOCK FOODS STAKES HEAT 1

Prize Money: $5,182

OPAWA GABBY (6) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from four starts. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (30.77) in a Class 1 last time at this track. Gets a tricky draw but still rates on top. OPAWA WINTER (3) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 1.75 lengths into second (30.89) at this track in a Class 1 over 525m. Must be included in calculations. KEEPER DREAM (4) led all the way last time out to score by 1.3 lengths (17.28) at this track in a Class 1 over 295m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Steps back up to a middle distance but should be in this for a long way. BUSY WORK (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back from the ace box.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 17.28 last start, beating Sweet Delia. Key chance on that latest effort.
