Addington Race 1

GREYHOUNDS HAVE FULL TRACEABILITY FROM BIRTH SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,800

OPAWA JUSTIN (2) has a strong overall record having never missed the frame and boasts eight wins from nine starts including a last start success (16.70) over 295m at this track. Has a strong record from this draw. On top here on best form and expected to feature. MITCHAM ERIC (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 14 times for five wins and three minors. Recorded a 1.5 lengths win (22.75) in a Class 2 last time at Ascot Park. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. APOLLO BALE (4) comes off a big run when third in a respectable 17.17 at this track over 295m. Top win latest and can measure up again. KNOW KORA (5) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.25 lengths third at this track but did record an exceptional 17.17 over the 295m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by half a length in a Class 2 H at this track and recording a head turning 16.94 over the 295m journey. Can come into calculations at odds.
