Addington Race 9

Landing Day Restricted Age Sprint Feature Pbd

Stake: $2,900

END OF ERA (3) Nice run placing 3rd last start here in 17.17s over 295m. Will be trying to topple them late. Been in the money on multiple occasions this campaign. Definite claims. GOLDSTAR DUFFY (8) Faded to finish 5th last time at the track. Happy to forgive that run and suited at this distance in the past. Can find a nice position from the draw. Has the ability to figure. OPAWA GORDON (2) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last start here in 16.98s over 295m. Should come to hand quickly. Each way value. GO REUBEN (7) Kept chasing when 5th last time at this venue and proven performer at this distance. Has been a model of consistency this campaign. Each way hopes.

Good effort when finishing 2nd last start at this venue in 16.98s over 295m. Has shown early pace in races to date. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.
