Addington Race 3

BALCAIRN STOCK FOODS & PET SUPPLIES LTD STAKES HEAT 2

Prize Money: $4,091

OPAWA WOODY (5) has a terrific record this track and trip with three wins and one placing from four starts. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (30.59) in a Class 1 last time at this track. Has the ability and should feature despite drawing the squeeze box. OPAWA LEO (6) is a talented type who boasts a strong winning strike-rate at this distance. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Last start won this track in a handy 30.72 beating Something Bold. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Has put together a string of wins and expected to go close again. STORM JUNIOR (3) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 6th and beaten 9 lengths at this track (31.39). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. One of the better hopes. LET HIM BURN (2) deserves plenty of thought at his first run at this distance. Does step up from maiden company.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.75 lengths at this track (17.30) beating Homebush Jojo in a Class 0 on April 10. Can atone with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (26.78) at Ascot Park in a Class 1, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Won again and recorded an impressive time after leading claiming his three straight wins at this track over 525m (30.59). With a clean break looks hard to beat.

In rare form with a current sequence of three wins on the hop. Added to the tally last start when he won by a neck at this track (30.72) beating Something Bold in a Class 1 on April 24. Won at his only start from this box. Yet to taste defeat in three runs and looks a key chance again if runs up to latest.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished seventh over 457m at Ascot Park, beaten 16 lengths. Happy to risk this time.
