Addington Race 5

THURSDAY $500 PLACE PICK

Prize Money: $6,455

TOO EASY (3) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and three minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at this track (30.54) in a Class 4, finishing a 1.75 lengths third. Looks a leading chance on best. PAW STRIKER (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Anglers Arms (30.45) in a Class 4. Has the early speed to give a sight. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. Expected to be in the finish again. WINGATUI WIZARD (1) has been in super consistent form recently with three minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fifth (30.65) at Whanganui. Has a good record here at this journey. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Key runner on best form. DIAMOND ALICE (2) can measure up with the right run. Odds will be appealing.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th over 520m at Wanganui beaten 6 lengths (30.65) behind Run The Gauntlet in a Class 4/5 on May 22. Was in the money three on end before missing the frame last time. Top chance to make it two from two.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.01) in a Class 4, finishing a 8 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Prefer in something easier.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
