Addington Race 5

SOUTH ISLAND MIDDLE DISTANCE ALLIANCE HEAT

Prize Money: $7,182

YUKI (7) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 7 last time (30.44) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Beaten by a very smart pup last start and good form should continue against this field. OPAWA JOSEPH (2) was in the minors two back (30.60) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Solid record here at the distance winning six races. Should be thereabouts. BEAM (5) got around 457m in a fast 25.96 when winning a Class 3 at Manawatu last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance despite drawing the squeeze box. LET HIM COOK (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently. Include in combination bets.

Placed last time (30.44) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting eight wins and two places from 11 starts. Big chance to make amends.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 9 lengths behind Original Warrior over 525m. Not keen.
