Addington Race 5

2026 YOUTH GARDEN CITY CLASSIC

Prize Money: $13,636

FAIRWAY FLYER (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 1.75 lengths at Ascot Park in a handy 25.87 beating Anglers Arms. Awkwardly drawn but has a good record over this journey. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Is a class above his rivals and is a great chance to get the job done again. TOO EASY (3) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 2 lengths away in fifth (30.77). Was in the money the start prior. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. OPAWA LEO (8) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.75) over 525m at this track in a Class 3/4. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Great chance to atone. TURBO JEWEL (5) has ability but meets a much tougher field. One to boost exotic combinations.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Class 3/4 on July 23 over 525m at this track behind Paw Earnest beaten 2 lengths (30.77). Placed two back at Manawatu. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Leading contender.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 6 lengths in 30.69, beating Opawa Duke. Last start finished 4th on July 28 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Winter beaten 5.5 lengths (31.28) in a Class 1. Has claims on best form.
