Addington (G) Race 8

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Prize Money: $4,091

SWEET DELIA (3) was a winner (22.70) at Ascot Park two back but out of the placings last time when 6th at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Steps up in class but seems as though she will handle it. OPAWA WOODY (8) stalked the lead from the inside draw then took over turning and burst clear to score (30.47) at this track in a Class 0 over 525m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Capable of going well again. BUSY WORK (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start seventh (31.70) at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. One of the main contenders from the ace box. OPAWA VICTORIA (2) still learning but has plenty of raw ability. Is right in the mix.

Finished third last start (26.37) at big odds over 457m at Ascot Park. Squeeze draw to overcome. May find this a bit too tough.
