Addington Race 8

2026 CANTERBURY FUTURITY SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $18,182

OPAWA ARCHIE (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with 15 wins and three minors from 20 tries. In the money last time at this track (16.87) in a R/A H, finishing a half a length second. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. GOTCHA BINGO (8) boasts a consistent overall record including 18 wins from 24 starts, the latest winning (16.83) over 295m at this track. Tends to go well on this box draw. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. MAX EFFORT (3) is a talented dog who was well fancied as favourite latest and flew the lids, leading throughout and scoring (16.76) at this track in R/A H over 295m. Form at this distance is sound. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Bold showing expected again. SPOT THE ANGEL (6) meets a couple of very talented sprinters today but is right in the mix.

Backs up after winning by 1.5 lengths at this track (17.02) beating Tuahiwi in a R/A H on July 24 six days ago. Hard to envisage a win.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.5 lengths second but did clock a scintillating 16.87 for the 295m journey. Looks a solid contender.

Comes off a (16.76) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a R/A H over 295m at this track. Has six wins and five placings from 14 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

In the money last time at this track (17.13) in a R/A H, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was an eye-catching winner after tracking the speed, scoring by one length in a Class 5 at this track and clocking a solid 17.21 over the 295m trip. Sure to go well.
