Addington (G) Race 1

THANK YOU JO CHAPMAN AND THE SPRINGSTON HOTEL

Prize Money: $5,455

WOLF BLAST WEST (5) is in top form, scoring by 2.75 lengths (17.08) over 295m at this track and making it back to back wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Steps back up to a middle distance but still looks a key chance again. DEVIL DELIA (2) ran below best last time finishing fifth (31.17) over 525m at this track from Box 7. The form from her last run stacks up well. Great chance to atone. VERSTAPPEN JEWEL (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (30.96) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Ascot Park. Well placed here and should do much better from the ace box. CRAFTY KEEPER (3) can play a role in the finish without surprising. Should be running home strongly.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by one length at this track (31.51) beating Opawa Duke in a Class 1 H on July 6. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 525m at this track. Better for the run but others rate better this time.
