Addington Race 8

THANK YOU TO HOWARD ANDERTON STAKES

Prize Money: $5,182

OPAWA MUFFIN (1) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 5 length win at Ascot Park in a handy 26.62. Well suited by the inside box and in form and has the ability. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. OPAWA DUKE (7) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, (30.57) at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. OPAWA WINTER (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (31.17) at this track behind Opawa Molly in a Class 1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Leading chance. TURBO JEWEL (5) is a last-start placegetter after leading early doors - worth considering despite a tricky box.

Strong performance to post a big 5 lengths win at Ascot Park over 457m (26.62) beating Homebush Husk in Class 1 on July 15. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Looks close to another win after claiming his maiden success on June 29 at this track over 295m. Last start was third over 457m in 27.04, behind Opawa Muffin. Solid showing expected.

Latest effort finished 2nd on July 13 over 525m at this track behind Adobe Rave beaten 1.5 lengths (30.57) in a Class 1 FIN. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Sure to play a major role.

Was out of placings last time (31.06) at this track in a Class 2, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and seven places from 19 starts. Drops down in class today so must keep safe.
