Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 STAKES

Stake: $5,900

BANDIT DAN (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.27 beating Something Bold. Put it all together last start and was a dominate win. Can continue the winning form. PAW ZACHARY (4) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 3.5 lengths away in fourth (30.63). Was in the money the start prior. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. WOLF BLAST WEST (1) was among the minors three back at this track then missed the frame the last two, but drawn box 1 this time where he has two wins. Will strip much fitter today and expected to do much better this time. MAGIC JONTY (2) is worth including at decent each-way value.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Class 4 on January 8 over 525m at this track behind Paw Striker beaten 9 lengths (31.09). Tipped to improve sharply. Fitter and can return to winning form.

Was out of placings last time (30.63) at this track in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Worth another chance.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Paw Striker over 525m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
