Addington Race 8

2025 TRACKSIDE TREVOR WILKES MEMORIAL CUP

Prize Money: $5,727

DIAMOND FELON (4) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last four starts, the latest jumping from this same box when second in a Class 4/5 at Ascot Park (25.88). Key player on best form. HENDRIX RULER (5) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Placed last time (30.43) at this track in a Class 3, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Can feature with the right run. ROMANTIC REBEL (7) is better than last start when sixth (30.82) in a Class 5 at this track over 525m. Form here at the trip is sound including seven wins. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ORIGINAL WARRIOR (3) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to turn the form around.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (25.76) over 457m at Cambridge Raceway. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on April 22 over 457m at Manawatu behind True Ability beaten 2.5 lengths (25.87) in a Class 5. Better off looking to others.
