Addington Race 5

PROTOCOL BAR & RESTAURANT DASH FEATURE PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

SEVENTEEN RED (7) goes very well at this journey having never missed the frame including three wins. Missed the frame latest (17.57) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 2 H. Expected to be in the finish. RUBBER JAY (4) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Class 3 winner three back (17.18) at this track over 295m. Faces a significant drop in class today and expected to improve sharply. OPAWA MOLLY (6) took advantage of the inside draw with an all-the-way win last start (30.57) at this track in a Class 0 over 525m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Drops back to a sprint trip but is still a leading player again. BEPPU BLAZE (8) is a last start winner worth following up. Odds will be appealing.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (17.53) over 295m at this track. Has a low draw. No easier here and faces a tough task.

Last start finished last over 295m at this track beaten 8 lengths (17.34) behind Gotcha Bingo in a SPECq on May 7. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Solid performance to post a big 6 lengths win at this track over 525m (30.57) beating Storm's Thunder in Class 0 on May 8. Expected to run well again.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fifth over 295m at this track in 17.57. Had been going well prior to that. Deserves another chance.
