Addington Race 9

CONGRATS CHCH MIDDLE DISTANCE DOG OF THE YEAR ONE HOT BANDIT STAKES

Stake: $5,500

ANGLERS ARMS (6) is better than last start when seventh (31.42) from Box 4 at this track over 525m. Looks the one to beat on his best form. OPAWA ARCHER (3) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 2 length second (30.28) behind Paw Earnest at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up. OPAWA SHIRLEY (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fourth and beaten 4 lengths (30.41) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning nine races. Should be about the mark with a better draw. CATERPIE BALE (5) is always hard to beat when she races at this trip. Drops in class for this race.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th on July 31 over 525m at this track behind Paw Earnest beaten 4 lengths (30.41) in a Class 4. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Big chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on August 1 over 525m at this track behind Paw Kilter beaten 21 lengths (31.42) in a Class 2/3. Placed two back at this track. Expected to bounce right back. Well placed and should feature.
