Addington Race 10

2025 HARDING CUP HEAT 1 PBD

Stake: $4,400

JERRY COLA (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (26.62) at Ascot Park. Has a strong record here at this journey including 18 wins. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Back to his favourite track and is the one they all have to beat. GOTCHA SANTANA (2) was last seen when rocketing around 295m at this track in 16.90 for a 5.5 lengths win. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HADWIN BALE (8) is a talented dog who is a winner of 19 races and filled a minor placing latest when second at Ascot Park (22.88). Has a good record here at this journey. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Bold showing expected. LEONARDO JEWEL (4) jumps at a shorter distance but still warrants respect for the minor placings.

Impressive performance to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Class 5 last start at this track, clocking a lightning 16.90 over the 295m trip. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 295m at this track in a handy (17.16), beating Opawa Hazel. Other runners look much more appealing.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ascot Park (23.19) in a Class 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 13 starts. Place prospects appear best.
