Addington (G) Race 6

MAYHOUNDS.ORG.NZ REHOMING GROUP DASH PBD

Stake: $3,000

OPAWA EVANS (2) has a strong record here with four wins and a minor from six starts. Recorded a 6 length win (22.68) in a Class 1/2 last time at Ascot Park. Looks suited and should go close. CURLY JUNIOR (7) has been out of the placings at his last two outings but shapes well for this if he can recapture his dynamic win a few runs back, getting around this track over 295m in 17.15. Should be in this for a long way. GO PETERS (5) impressed last time when produced a slick 17.36 win here in a new PB this course and distance. Has the ability and looks a key chance. HOMEBUSH BANKSY (8) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Solid performance to post a big 6 lengths win at Ascot Park over 390m (22.68) beating Homebush Opal in Class 1/2 on May 7. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 16.75. Top chance.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by half a length at this track over 295m (17.36) beating Sozin's Royal in Class 1 on April 28. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
