Addington Race 4

CLARKSON SIGN STUDIO SPRINT FINAL PBD

Stake: $2,500

OPAWA EVANS (6) is progressing well scoring last time out (22.73) at Ascot Park and bringing up his 5th career win. Hard to go past form at this journey. Expected to go well again. ZANAB BALE (3) is racing very well having won her last two starts at this track. Profiles nicely over this trip. Big chance to land the hat trick. HOMEBUSH BANKSY (8) could be hard to beat with a drop in trip. Something for the Multiples: RAPHAEL JEWEL (5)

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.86) in a Class 2, finishing a 9 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Will need the right run.

Has been racing extremely well, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 2.25 lengths at this track (17.02) beating Homebush Feijoa in a Class 1 H on April 7. In sparkling form and can win again.
