Addington Race 10

INTER-ISLAND MIDDLE DISTANCE HEAT

Prize Money: $7,182

DALGETY (8) failed to come into contention last start after missing the jump at Ascot Park, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at Ascot Park (25.79) beating Jay Walker in a Class 5 H on June 24. Is a very talented chaser who can bounce back. OPAWA POSTMAN (2) last seen when scorching around the 457m at Ascot Park in 25.84 for a one length success. In form and must include in calculations. YUKI (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.98) at Ascot Park. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. Has a strong record out of this box with eight wins and three minor placings from 12 starts. Can measure up. STUCK THROTTLE (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish at this track and distance last time out.
