Addington Race 5

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLA MACMILLAN DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

PAW MAVEN (3) goes very well this trip starting 16 times for eight wins and six minors. Was out of placings last time (17.15) at this track in a Class 5 H, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. OPAWA JIMMY (6) hit the frame latest (21.56) when third at Cambridge Raceway in a Class 5. Has four wins already from this draw. Provided he can handle this track first time up, is expected to run well. CLAWS IN SPARKY (4) had the drop on the lead from the squeeze box but wound up strongly to score (22.93) at Ascot Park in C1/5 over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Should be in this for a long way. OPAWA BARNS (2) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start. Predicted to lead them from the lids early.
