Addington Race 1

DAVE ROBBIE PHOTOGRAPHER DISTANCE FEATURE

Stake: $9,700

JOHNNY FOOTBALL (4) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from four tries. Recorded a 4 length win in a Class 2/3 last time at Manawatu. Rates on top and should go close. BIG TIME ZIP (3) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 4 lengths into second at Manawatu in a Class 2/3 over 660m. Deserves a win and gets her chance. STORM JUNIOR (6) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind Master Grylls (31.07) in a Class 1 H. One of the main contenders. TESS (8) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.
