Addington (G) Race 8

SUCK IT UP LTD STAKES

Stake: $4,800

VALDERRAMA (3) turned in a moderate effort last time when eighth at this track over 525m behind Zestful (31.23) in a R/A FIN. Placed at her previous run. Ready to return to form. PAW STRIKER (4) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for three wins and two minors. Placed last time (30.49) at this track in a Class 2, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Looks one of the chances. TWISTED TRUTH (8) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 5 lengths behind Yuki in 30.56 and recording a new PB here. In form and must include in calculations. WINGATUI WIZARD (5) is a last-start placegetter in good time - worth considering.

Missed the frame latest (31.23) when eighth over 525m at this track in a R/A FIN. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Gets chance to atone.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 525m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (30.66) behind Opawa Hass in a Class 1 on July 21. Although beaten last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Among the chances with the right run.
