Addington Race 3

2025 ROSE AND THISTLE NZ OAKS

Stake: $6,300

BROADWAY GEM (2) is better than last start when fourth (17.51) in a Class 3 at this track over 295m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Likely to be about the mark. BIG TIME FAVOUR (7) turned in a handy 30.26 despite finishing fourth in a Class 5 at Wanganui last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance. OPAWA STACY (3) was in the money last time at this track (30.45) in a R/A FIN, finishing a 4 length third. Has already won two times from this draw.

Was strongly supported last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 295m at this track in 17.51. Has an inside draw again here. Can measure up if she runs to her best.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 295m in 17.15. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 525m at this track at Class 1 level. Needs to find a bit more.
