Addington Race 10

The Homekill Guys Ltd Dash Pbd

Stake: $4,000

OPAWA MOCHA (7) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won eight of nine starts. Was out of the placings last time (17.88) at Wanganui in a SPECf, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. PICK AND GO (5) ran below best last time finishing fifth (17.45) over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Solid record here at the distance winning 24 races. Comes through a solid form race last start. In the mix. WHO GIVES (2) was out of placings last time (17.21) at this track in a Class 5, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs. Looks a key chance on best figures. DISPUTE OR NOT (1) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Drawn the inside. At the last start finished last in a Class 5 on November 28 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Fusion beaten 8 lengths (17.21). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
