Addington Race 11

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH HEAT 5 PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA CONNOR (8) was well fancied to win maiden two back then finished second last start (17.52) at this track over 295m. Has placed three times at this track. Recently finished third in a four dog trial (17.18) on this track over 295m. Going well and can find winning form this time. SELENA JEWEL (5) was a winner two back and strongly fancied last time but could only manage fifth (18.00) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Great chance to atone. MITCHAM JORDAN (2) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (23.40), beaten 5.5 lengths. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Shapes as one to consider. KNOW MATCH (7) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time. Include in all exotic bets.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 23.40 over 390m at Ascot Park. Well placed and should feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 1 on March 2 over 295m at this track behind Classy Blazer beaten 6 lengths (17.95). Placed two back at Ascot Park. Holds top-three claims.
