Addington Race 4

TALBINGO BALE STAKES

Prize Money: $6,455

LET HIM LOOSE (4) has a strong record here with five wins and two placings from nine starts. In the money last time at Ascot Park (26.19) in a Class 4, finishing a one length second. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. PAW STRIKER (5) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (31.11) last time in a Class 4 at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. PAW ZACHARY (8) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage one length away in second (41.12). Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Well-placed to take this out. MINNIE ANGEL (7) scored by half a length last time (30.56) in a Class 3 over 525m at this track. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring two times.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (30.60) over 525m at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 525m. Last start finished 2nd in a Class 4 on June 10 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Happy Nice Day beaten one length (26.19). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Stick with him.

Was out of placings last time (31.11) at this track in a Class 4, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Key chance and should go close.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 525m at this track in a handy (30.56), beating Opawa Joseph. One of the chances.
