Addington Race 9

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 HEAT 1

Prize Money: $5,182

CHRISTIAN JEWEL (1) is having first try over this longer journey. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 5 lengths (23.41) at Ascot Park. Will get every chance from the ace box. Looks a key chance on best form. OPAWA MUFFIN (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 6 length 6th at this track (31.16). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Should be about the mark. STORM'S THUNDER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 681m behind Classy Hunter (41.22) in a Class 0. Was in the money prior to that. Better suited to a middle distance and can figure in the finish. OPAWA ARLICA (7) will have admirers again after placing in a quick run last time out. Does run home strongly over this distance.
