Addington Race 9

ROSE & THISTLE STAKES HEAT 2

Prize Money: $5,182

OPAWA MOLLY (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 6 lengths into second (31.05) at this track in a Class 1 over 525m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up this time. OPAWA WINTER (4) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (30.82) at this track last time. Include in all combination bets. LET HIM BURN (7) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 525m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of main contenders. PRADA JEWEL (5) picked up a cheque last time and is in the mix again.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Class 1 FIN on May 18 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Victoria beaten 3.5 lengths (30.82). Worth another try.

Good effort last time when second (26.44) over 457m at Ascot Park. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Sure to be in the mix again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 525m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 525m in 30.61 last start, beating Opawa Molly. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.
