Addington (G) Race 1

TRACED FROM BIRTH TO ADOPTION STAKES

Stake: $4,300

MAX EFFORT (7) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 4.5 lengths (30.89). Can find winning form. OPAWA SCOOTER (4) was below best last time when fourth at this track but prior to that among the placings in quick time (30.83) at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. DECENT (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (17.96) in a Class 0 H at this track. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can measure up this time. BUSTED HANDLE (5) makes debut for the D A Roberts kennel. Start all important. Market to provide the best guide to her chances.

Has raced eight times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (30.89) over 525m at this track. Was on pace and game in defeat. Looks well placed here.
