Addington (G) Race 4

THANK YOU TO ALL THE TRACKSIDE CREW STAKES

Prize Money: $6,364

OPAWA MOLLY (2) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at this track over 295m by 4.5 lengths (16.95). Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Steps back up to a middle distance but will be the hardest to beat again. HALLUCINATIONS (7) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at this track over 295m behind Bumrah's Jadeja (18.14) in a Class 2. The form out of last race has been strong. First try over the longer journey but has the ability to give this a shake. OPAWA SPONGE (1) showed good early burn but run over late to finish 5th at this track in Class 3 company. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Worth following up from the ace box. MINI BULL (3) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a Class 2 last start at this track, recording a powerful 16.95 over the 295m journey. Looks well placed to make it three straight.
