Addington Race 1

BALCAIRN STOCK FOODS & PET SUPPLIES LTD STAKES

Stake: $4,100

GLASSES (6) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 2.25 lengths back in second (30.49) at this track in a Class 1 over 525m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to be in the finish again. OPAWA APRIL (8) boasts some strong form at this distance, having won two times from three starts. Was out of placings last time (30.79) at this track in a Class 1, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. GO EYE (2) has a good box draw and must be included on latest effort. Something for the Multiples: OPAWA POSTMAN (7)
