Addington (G) Race 8

GREYHOUNDS HAVE FULL TRACEABILITY FROM BIRTH STAKES

Stake: $4,800

MAGIC JONTY (5) has a strong record this trip with four wins and five placings from 11 starts. Comes off a (30.18) win last time, scoring by 3 lengths in a Class 2/3 over 525m at this track. Meets a similar field and rates on top again. MASTER GRYLLS (4) was in the placings last time but prior to that he posted a convincing 17.16 win over 295m at this track. Steps back up to a middle distance and looks a key chance. MINNIE LU (6) was well fancied last time on the strength of her recent form but could only manage second (23.12) at Ascot Park. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Will give a great sight again. PAW GUNNER (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish. Odds should be appealing.

Finished second last start (30.39) over 525m at this track. Has a low draw. Sure to be in the mix again.
