Addington Race 10

Arrival Of William Hobson Restricted Age Feature

Prize Money: $3,545

ORIGINAL WARRIOR (7) is a super consistent dog who rarely misses the frame, last start scoring at Manawatu (25.79), making it two straight wins. Has a good record here at this journey. Will go close here with a clear run. ROMANTIC REBEL (5) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (30.87) at this track over 525m. Form here at this distance is sound. Worth another chance. DIAMOND FELON (6) was below best last start when he finished 7th on January 16 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Hugo beaten 9 lengths (30.91) in a Class 4/5. Next best.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on January 20 over 525m at this track behind Goldstar Tyson beaten 6 lengths (30.87) in a R/A. Placed two back at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Comments

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (30.91) at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.

Comments

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a 0.7 lengths in a Class 3 last start at Manawatu, clocking a brilliant 25.79 for the 457m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
