Addington Race 1

RED SNAPPER SEAFOOD SUMNER STAKES

Stake: $4,500

OPAWA DUKE (7) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage third, beaten 4 lengths (30.99) at this track in a Class 1 over 525m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Leading chance again. OPAWA GABBY (2) jumped from the rails and recorded a big win scoring by 6 lengths at this track over 525m (30.80). Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Does rise in class but expected to measure up again. OPAWA WINTER (4) found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and fell. Was very well supported last start. Has the ability and can atone with the right run. OPAWA CARAMEL (5) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
