Invercargill Race 11

ALL DOGS VACCINATED PBD

Stake: $2,900

OPAWA APRIL (7) got the job done again after leading to make it two on end at Addington over 295m (16.81). In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. MAYFIELD FALCON (4) broke through for his maiden success last time out at this track over 390m (23.42). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. HOMEBUSH BILLIE (6) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Addington over 295m behind OPAWA APRIL (17.70) in a Class 1 H. Was in the money the start prior. Bold showing expected. HOMEBUSH HELEENA (3) won at long odds last start over 295m at Addington and can run a bold race on best form.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 390m (23.42) beating Homebush Romilly in Class 0 on July 9. Can make it two on the bounce.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (23.04) over 390m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need a little luck to feature.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing sixth in 17.70 over 295m at Addington. Key chance on his best form.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 295m at Addington by 2 lengths in a Class 1 H. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
