Addington Race 4

SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES

Stake: $4,800

FIREMAN FRED (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when eighth (31.03) at this track over 525m. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. KNOW MATCH (4) caught the eye when clocking a solid 30.18 over 525m at this track three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Top win three back and can measure up again. VERSTAPPEN (7) was a last-start winner, who is not out of this. JEWEL DIAMOND NICKI (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 17.31, beating Mellon Collie. Leading player again.

Most recently finished last on May 22 over 525m at this track behind Bandit Dan beaten 10 lengths (31.03) in a Class 3/4. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (30.32) over 525m at this track. Is in the mix.
