Addington Race 7

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND STAKES

Prize Money: $3,727

OPAWA APRIL (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (31.35) over 525m at this track in a Class 1. Tough to beat if on song. GLASSES (7) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (31.26) in a Class 1 at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Must be included in calculations. OPAWA HASS (6) ran below best last time finishing sixth (31.37) over 525m at this track in a Class 1. Better than last start and can bounce back. YUKI (8) won't mind a wide box draw and can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on June 9 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Postman beaten 8 lengths (31.35) in a Class 1. Placed two back at this track. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 525m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.78 beating Opawa Scooter over 525m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (30.57) beating Paw Xian in a Class 0 FIN on May 30. Leading chance on best form.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (31.26) at this track in a Class 1. Has first look at box 7 this time. Makes strong appeal.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 3.5 lengths behind Opawa Postman over 525m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
