Addington Race 8

MARK ROSANOWSKI INVITATIONAL FEATURE

Prize Money: $13,636

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (7) goes very well this trip starting 58 times for 25 wins and 19 minors. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (30.09) in a Class 4/5 last time at this track. Has very good box speed and looks a key chance on best form. STUCK THROTTLE (5) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 5 length third (30.45) at this track in Class 4/5. Gets the squeeze box but a bold showing expected. DIAMOND FELON (2) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his outstanding win three back, getting around Ascot Park over 457m in 25.96. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. TAIERI GOUT (3) form at this distance reads well. Chased the top pick home last start.

Placed last time (26.56) at Ascot Park in a Class 5, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in 11 runs from this box, including four wins. Sure to be most competitive again.

Did a good job two starts back at Wanganui to win by 1.4 lengths in 30.08, beating Big Time Maestro. Last start finished last on May 7 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Postman beaten 16 lengths (31.26) in a R/A H. Not keen, needs to lift.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 525m at this track in a handy 30.09 beating Taieri Gout. Has run hot time here with a 29.73 PB at the distance. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.39) over 525m at this track. Would need to lift.
