Addington Race 8

VALLEY INN TAVERN SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

OPAWA ELVIS (7) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in 13 starts, including eight wins and five placings. In the money last time at this track (16.89) in a Class 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Looks well placed and should feature. TWO DOWN (6) scored by 1.75 lengths last time (16.77) in a Class 5 over 295m at this track. Beat his main rival in this race last start. Suited here and expected to run well. OPAWA WEATHERLEY (5) jumped cleanly last start and led all the way (16.77) at this track in a Class 5 over 295m. Can continue on with his winning form despite drawing the squeeze box. HOMEBUSH SWINDLE (2) missed the frame but ran a brilliant fourth in 17.12 last time in a hot race. Mapped to get a soft run and worth including.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.7 lengths second at this track but did record a brilliant 17.10 for the 295m trip. Can go one better.

Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (16.77) in a Class 5 last time at this track. Goes very well from the draw boasting six victories and seven places from 18 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 16.77 last start, beating Opawa Elvis. Has run hot time here with a 16.75 PB at the distance. Expected to go well.

In the money last time at this track (16.89) in a Class 5, finishing a 1.75 lengths second. Yet to miss the frame from five starts from the draw, including two wins. Key chance and should go close.

Found the going tougher last start when finishing seventh over 295m at this track. Won an easier race the start before that at this track. Tempted to look elsewhere.
