Addington Race 9

WATERLOO CUP (GROUP 1) HEAT

Prize Money: $7,182

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (4) goes very well this course and distance starting 52 times for 23 wins and 15 minors. Was out of the placings last time (30.51) at this track in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Is a very reliable beginner and expected to be in the finish. DALGETY (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for six wins and two minors. Comes off a (25.81) win last time, scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 5 over 457m at Ascot Park. Promising young chaser who is among the main chances. STUCK THROTTLE (7) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races and is overdue, hitting the line hard to place latest (30.63) in a Class 5 at this track and making it three minors in a row. Solid record here at the distance winning 13 races. Expected to feature. OPAWA POSTMAN (5) missed the frame latest (30.80) when fifth over 525m at this track in a R/A FIN. Has already won two times from this draw. Meets a talented line-up today.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 525m at this track. Much better than last two efforts. Don't drop.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 390m at Ascot Park in a handy (22.30), beating Diamond Dolly. Might find the distance to far.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 30.13, beating Opawa Scooter. Last start finished 5th in a R/A FIN on May 14 over 525m at this track behind Twisted Truth beaten 5 lengths (30.80). Major threat on best form.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 2 lengths in a Class 5 last start at Ascot Park, recording a head turning 25.81 over the 457m journey. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
