Addington Extra Race 2

SPRINGSTON HOTEL STAKES FEATURE

Prize Money: $7,909

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (2) has a strong record this trip with 18 wins and 18 placings from 47 starts. Was out of placings last time (30.78) at this track in a Class 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has good box manners and looks the likely leader in this field. Looks the one to beat with even luck. PAW BRADLEY (5) had some strong recent form but was below best last time when fourth (26.30) in a Class 5 at Ascot Park. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Worth another chance. YUKI (8) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind Opawa Hass (30.70) in a R/A H. Was a winner prior to that. Warrants plenty of respect. DIAMOND FELON (1) saluted last start after racing on the speed. Recent racing down south at Ascot Park but does enjoy this venue. Sure to run well again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ascot Park over 457m in 26.05 last start, beating Homebush Sunny. Form from this box is very strong including three wins. In the mix.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning three on end before placing two back. Go close on his best form.

In the money last time at this track (30.46) in a Class 4/5, finishing a 0.7 lengths second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Can't recommend him in this.

Missed the frame latest (30.56) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Class 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and three places from 11 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Well fancied last start but could only manage fourth over 457m at Ascot Park in 26.30. Had been going well prior to that. Great chance to atone.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Manawatu over 457m. Last start finished 5th over 525m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.70) behind Opawa Hass in a R/A H on February 5. Expected to bounce back.
