Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 DASH PBD

Stake: $3,500

WELLY WALLY (6) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (16.93) there the start prior. Has a good record here at this journey. Ready to return to form. APRIL JEWEL (2) produced a solid 17.22 when filling a minor placing over 295m at this track last start. In form and looks a leading player again. HOMEBUSH CHIP (5) had been racing in honest fashion recording three placings in a row before finishing fourth (17.30) at this track latest. Warrants plenty of respect with early luck from the tricky draw. OPAWA PUTIN (7) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Big chance again with a similar beginning.
