Addington Race 8

GROUP ONE WATERLOO CUP HEAT

Stake: $6,300

PAW BRADLEY (7) goes very well this course and distance, starting 12 times for seven wins and two minors. Recorded a 1.75 lengths win (29.84) in a Class 5 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on his best. ONE HOT BANDIT (5) has an impeccable record this course and distance, winning all 14 starts. Recorded a 1.3 lengths win (30.03) in a Class 5 last time at this track. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. STUCK THROTTLE (8) has been in super consistent form recently with five minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (27.05) at Ascot Park. Has a good record here, including 11 wins. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Can figure in the finish. OPAWA SHIRLEY (3) form at this distance reads well. Each way value.
