Addington Race 3

GROUP 2 CANTERBURY FUTURITY HEAT 3

Prize Money: $7,182

OPAWA FANNIN (6) was in the money last time at Manawatu (25.84) in a Class 5, finishing a 2 length second. Has already won two times from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat. GLASSES (8) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (41.12) but scored three back at this track (16.99). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to her credit. Warrants plenty of respect. MINNIE ANGEL (7) is a well performed dog and winner of nine races who was in the minor money last time out at this track (30.45). Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. OPAWA SCOOTER (5) justified the favourite's tag last time - another big run is on the cards.

Finished third at big odds last time (26.44) over 457m at Ascot Park. Squeeze draw to overcome. May find this a bit too tough.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 1.1 lengths (30.45) behind Taieri Gout in a Class 5 on July 16. Excellent record from this draw, including three wins. In solid form and can win without surprising.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 41.12 over 681m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
