Addington Race 5

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Stake: $6,300

ONE HOT BANDIT (2) has an impeccable record this course and distance, winning all 11 starts. Scored by 6 lengths last time (30.04) in a Class 5 over 525m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. LET HIM COOK (8) posted a handy 22.54 when placed over 390m at Ascot Park last start in a Class 5. Bold showing expected again. XISCO BALE (4) struggled for best form latest, finishing 4th (30.01) in a Class 4/5 at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting six wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Likely to play a prominent role. EAGLE EYE (5) is a last-start winner worth following up. Each way value.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 525m at this track in a handy 30.04 beating Diamond Felon. Flying lately and can score again.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (30.30) in a Class 3 over 525m at this track. Has one success and two minors from four starts from box 5. Looks one of the chances.

Was edged out last time at Ascot Park when beaten just a nose but did clock a solid 22.54 over the 390m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
