Addington Race 11

Racing Again Friday 24Th January Pbd

Prize Money: $2,818

OPAWA HAZEL (4) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 295m at this track in 16.87. Looks the one to beat on win two back. TRUE ABILITY (8) goes very well on this course and over the distance starting 18 times for seven wins and four minors. Hit the frame latest (17.07) when third at this track in a Class 4. Among the main chances. VALENCIA (7) scorched around 295m in 16.97 when winning a Class 3 at this track last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. SUN STRIKE (6) is in the mix after placing at a big quote last time out. Each way value again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 295m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Class 3 at this track and recording a lightning 16.87 for the 295m journey. Has the ability and can find winning form again.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 295m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Strong performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 295m (16.97) beating Mitcham Arlica in Class 3 on January 16. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.25 lengths third but did clock a convincing 17.07 over the 295m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
