Addington (G) Race 8

KIWIKIWIHOUNDS.CO.NZ ADOPTION DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

EXPLORER TIKO (7) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 17.31 beating Opawa Birstall. Is very reliable out of the lids and is the one to beat again. SEVENTEEN RED (4) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts three wins. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (17.11) in a Class 1 last time at this track. Steps up in class but looks a key chance on best figures. RIPSLINGER LYNX (2) filled the minor placings again last time when second (17.23) at this track, making it three straight minors on end. Has a good record at this journey. Rates a winning chance on best. OPAWA CONNOR (8) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage second (17.17) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to be in the finish again.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.23) in a Class 3, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Has three successes and three minors from 11 starts from box 3. Down grades in class and can sneak into the finish.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by one length at Ascot Park (23.42) beating Homebush Apollo in a Class 1 on March 18. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Solid performance to win by one length at this track over 295m (17.31) beating Opawa Birstall in Class 1 on April 13. Has run slick time here with a 17.19 PB at the distance. Key runner.
