Addington Race 7

BALCAIRN STOCK FOODS & PET SUPPLIES LTD STAKES FINAL

Stake: $4,500

OPAWA LEO (4) is a talented type progressing through the grades and building a strong record. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Last start won this track in a handy 30.53 beating OPAWA WOODY. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. The hardest to beat again. OPAWA WOODY (2) has been in sparkling form with a three start winning streak followed by a last start placing (30.88) at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. OPAWA HARRISON (3) scored a 2.25 lengths win this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (30.49) and also clocked the quickest win on the card. In form and looks a leading player again. SOMETHING BOLD (5) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again in a very progressive field.

In rare form with a current sequence of four wins on the hop. Added to the tally last start when he won comfortably by 5 lengths at this track (30.53) beating Opawa Woody in a Class 1 H on April 27. Continued the excellent form last start and has to be respected.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 525m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (30.65) behind Opawa Harrison in a Class 1 H on April 27. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to measure up.

Missed the frame latest (30.83) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Class 1 H. Starts from box 6 for the first time here. Looks a solid contender.
