Addington (G) Race 9

ACCELL THERAPY NZ STAKES

Stake: $4,100

YUKI (4) won again in quick time after leading them home to make it two on the bounce, scoring at Manawatu over 457m (25.88). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Looks like the one to beat. PAW XIAN (8) is progressing well with another good run, placing by a long neck (26.69) in a Class 1/2 at Ascot Park. Winning chance. PAW STRIKER (2) flew the lids last start and led throughout to register his maiden win by 4.5 lengths at this track over 525m (30.57). Nicely drawn here. Harder here, but is expected to measure up. OPAWA HASS (7) meets an even lineup and is worth consideration.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last six starts, the latest when third (30.45) at this track. Drawn awkwardly. One of the better hopes.
