Addington (G) Race 1

TRACED FROM BIRTH TO ADOPTION STAKES FINAL

Stake: $4,300

IT'S OKAY (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.57) at this track behind OPAWA MARK in a Class 0. Has the pace to be prominent. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can measure up this time. OPAWA MARK (6) hit the ground running to score by 2.75 lengths (30.38) at this track over 525m. Meets a similar field and should be in this for a long way. EXPLORER BOOTS (8) is a eight start maiden who has placed two times, the latest finishing fourth at this track. Although beaten did run very good time (31.27) latest. Much better for the fresh up run and likely to be thereabouts. NO CONTROL (2) has strong claims after a long-odds top-three finish last time out.

Yet to break through in three runs, the latest effort a second over 525m at this track in 30.57. Did run very good time last start. Pay to follow.

Jumped well on debut from box 3 and went straight to the lead, getting off the mark with a 2.75 lengths win (30.38) over 525m at this track. Running out nominations and he should put himself in the race early.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 525m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
