Addington (G) Race 8

ACCELL THERAPY NZ SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

SMOKING IVAN (3) last start finished 3rd in a Class 5 on February 4 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Paw Maven beaten 3 lengths (22.78). Has very good box manners and is solid to the line over this journey. Rates a leading player and sure to be in this for a long way. OPAWA WEATHERLEY (7) finished well back at this track last time when a 10 length sixth (17.44) but scored four back at this track (16.74). Raced in a slightly stronger field last start. Can measure up this time. PAW XIAN (8) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and six placings from 16 starts. Hit the frame latest (22.59) when second at Ascot Park in a Class 5. Among the main chances. DIAMOND PRINCE (4) drops in trip and should be in the mix. Meets a very classy field today.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Class 5 H on February 5 over 295m at this track behind Classy Noa beaten 0.7 lengths (17.33). Others make more appeal.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 295m at this track beaten 10 lengths (17.44) behind Gotcha Kane in a Class 5 on January 29. Placed two back at this track. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Worth another chance.
