Addington Race 9

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Stake: $5,900

ONE HOT BANDIT (5) is yet to be beaten here, scoring nine wins from as many starts. Scored by 2 lengths last time (30.50) in a Class 5 over 525m at this track. Rates a leading player. KNOW EXPENSE (2) scored an upset win in quick time (30.70) when sent out big odds in a Class 3/4 at this track latest. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. PAW BRADLEY (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (30.98) from Box 8 at this track over 525m. Yet to taste defeat from two runs out of this box. Worth following up. BAKER DAN (6) was in the money last start and likely to feature again.

Safely held last time over 525m at this track but was a 3.5 lengths winner two back over 525m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Good performance to win by 2 lengths at this track over 525m (30.50) beating Diamond Felon in Class 5 on April 3. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (30.89) behind One Hot Bandit in a Class 5 on April 3. Has ability and among the chances.

In the money last time at this track (30.64) in a Class 5, finishing a 2 length second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield

Last Starts days since last start
