Angle Park Race 5

2025 State National Distance Championship H Cta Di

Stake: $6,883

APILLA (4) jumped from box 4 last time and ran away with an impressive win scoring by 5 lengths at this track in a handy 43.05. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up again. CANYA STRIKER (8) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (43.86) at this track. Returns to favourable track. Goes very well from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from seven starts. One of the main contenders. FINNISS JEWEL (7) jumps from box 7 again after finishing third (31.18) last time at this track over 530m. Has the ability and can measure up. ISABELLA'S BLITZ (5) placed in slick time last start - worth some thought.

Finished fourth (43.77) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Aided by the inside draw but will need to find best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 730m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Was out of placings last time (43.86) at this track in a OPEN, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Box stats strong with four wins and two placings from seven starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
