Addington Race 5

Thursday Place Pick Dash Pbd

Prize Money: $3,636

OPAWA RYDER (8) boasts a strong record this journey with 22 wins and 16 minors from 59 tries. Recorded a 4-length win (16.73) in a Class 4 last time at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. GOTCHA SANTANA (4) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and five placings from 15 starts. Hit the frame latest (16.83) when second at this track in a Class 5. Looks like one of the chances. HOMEBUSH ALANA (1) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.33) at Ascot Park. The form here at the trip is excellent including nine wins. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to feature again. OPAWA BUSY (2) comes here off a freshen-up and is worth consideration for all combinations.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 390m at Ascot Park. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.

Impressive performance to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Class 4 last start at this track, recording a dazzling 16.86 for the 295m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded an excellent 17.19 over 295m finishing third at this track. Has the ability and looks an each way chance.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (16.83) at this track in a Class 5. Lines up from box 4 for the first time. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Could manage only sixth last time but impressed the start prior when he recorded a superb 16.99 over 295m finishing second at this track. Harder here and place looks best.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 295m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.
