Addington Race 7

LEVI BALE STAKES

Prize Money: $6,455

PAW STRIKER (6) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (30.82) at this track in a Class 3/4 over 525m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Makes plenty of appeal. XISCO BALE (2) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 525m behind Paw Zachary (31.12) in a Class 3/4. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Has ability and can measure up. WINGATUI WIZARD (3) hit the frame latest (37.44) when third at Ascot Park in a Class 2/3. Has already won three times from this draw. Drops back to a middle distance and is among the main chances. BEAM (8) gets an improved box draw today from most recent runs and will give backers a sight.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (26.33) over 457m at Ascot Park. Right in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.12) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 6 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (25.97) at big odds over 457m at Ascot Park. Didn't show up last start but give him another chance.
