Addington Extra Race 1

THE HOMEKILL GUYS LTD DASH PBD

Stake: $4,400

OPAWA MARSH (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 24 times for 15 wins and seven minors. Comes off a (26.01) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Invitations over 457m at Ascot Park. Expected to be in the finish. GOTCHA SANTANA (2) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at this track in a handy 16.93 beating Diamond Ranger. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. MITCHAM BLAKE (3) posted a handy 17.07 when placed over 295m at this track last start in a Class 5. Expecting another bold showing. OPAWA RYDER (8) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.
