Addington Race 8

PARLAYSKITCHEN ON INSTAGRAM SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

OPAWA ELVIS (7) could not have been more impressive last start in his dazzling 16.85 win at this track over 295m. Faces his toughest race to date reaching class 5 company. In form and can measure up again. TWO DOWN (5) was out of placings last time (18.00) at Wanganui in a Class 5 H, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Will appreciate a return to this track and makes strong appeal on best. SKELETOR (6) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (22.38) at Ascot Park in a Class 3/4 over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Leading chance again despite rising in class. LADY DAISY (8) profiles nicely over this trip. Enjoys a wide draw.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.14) in a Class 5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Has seven successes and 12 minors from 27 starts from box 2. Tough ask.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (17.11) over 295m at this track. Tough field and appears tested.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 4th over 305m at Wanganui beaten 5 lengths (18.00) behind Rosapenna in a Class 5 H on April 10. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 16.75. Nicely placed and should go well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ascot Park over 390m in 22.38 last start, beating Homebush Alfie. Has run blistering time here with a 16.9 PB at the distance. Expected to run well again.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 295m at this track in a handy 16.85 beating Gotcha Santana. Form from this draw is very strong, including two wins. Likely to be in the finish.
