Addington Race 4

RED SNAPPER SEAFOOD SUMNER STAKES

Stake: $3,700

OPAWA EVANS (6) hit the ground running from out wide last start and crossed down to lead throughout (30.80) at this track in a Class 0 FIN over 525m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Ideally placed to take this out. EAGLE EYE (2) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 525m behind Taieri Gout (30.85) in a Class 1 H. Placed at his previous run. Expected to feature in the finish. MINI BULL (4) was out of the placings when sixth last time but prior to that produced an exceptional 17.18 win over 295m at this track. Top win two back and rates a key player again. BROADWAY JAZZ (5) has each way claims if he runs up to his best.

Dual acceptor. Last start finished fifth on March 3 over 525m at this track behind Master Grylls, beaten 4 lengths (30.78) in a Class 1 H. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 17.18, beating April Jewel. Last start finished 6th in a Class 0 FIN on February 28 over 525m at this track behind Opawa Evans beaten 5.5 lengths (31.20). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, tempted to look elsewhere.
