Addington Race 9

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Prize Money: $5,364

ONE HOT BANDIT (5) is unbeaten over this track and trip in eight starts. Below best last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.60) in a Class 5, finishing sixth. Looks the one to beat with even luck. PAW BRADLEY (8) missed the frame last time at this track, but the start prior rocketed around 457m at Manawatu in 25.81. Has the ability and looks a key chance. XISCO BALE (1) has an excellent record here, having never missed the placings in nine starts, including six wins and three placings. Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (29.92) in a Class 5 last time at this track. Can feature with the right run. OPAWA KYLE (2) was a huge winner last start. Hard to beat again.

Solid performance to win by 3.5 lengths at this track over 525m (29.92) beating Stuck Throttle in Class 5 on March 27. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Could only manage sixth last time but had been in the money the two starts prior, most recently when a narrow second (30.16) over 525m at this track. Aided by a low draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 525m. Last start finished 6th over 457m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 16 lengths (26.60) behind Xisco Bale in a Class 5 on March 13. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 525m at this track. That followed a win two back in 29.94 beating Zestful over 525m at this track. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.
