Addington Race 11

RACING AGAIN FRIDAY 16 MAY SPRINT FEATURE PBD

Stake: $3,500

OPAWA SUSAN (3) caught the eye when posting a blistering 17.06 over 295m at this track. Expected to push the clock again here. ZANAB BALE (2) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 295m behind Opawa Justin (17.33) in a Class 4. Scored at her previous run. Has the ability and is one of the better chances. KARIS (4) missed the frame but clocked a good 17.29 when fourth over 295m at this track last start in a Class 4. Top win latest and can measure up again. AMANDA OBDAM (5) cannot be left out after placing at a big quote last start.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 5th on May 8 over 295m at this track behind Opawa Justin beaten 8 lengths (17.33) in a Class 4. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 17.06 last start, beating Opawa Putin. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Strong performance to score by a half a length in a Class 3 last start at this track, recording a swift 17.19 over the 295m journey. Smart win and looks a key chance again here.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (17.06) over 295m at this track. Drawn out wide but is in the mix.
