Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 DASH PBD

Stake: $4,700

COOL FRIENDS (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 17 times for seven wins and seven minors. Placed last time (16.96) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten 0.7 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. GOTCHA KANE (6) was below best last time at Cambridge Raceway (26.43) in a R/A FIN, finishing a 11 length sixth. Has four wins already from this draw. Forget last start run in the NZ Derby up north goes much better this track. Among the main chances. WAVE DANCER (2) unwanted in betting but showed good early dash and led until late, finishing second and beaten a head (17.02) at this track in a Class 5 over 295m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expecting another good run. OPAWA BAXTER (7) missed the frame latest (16.98) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Has two wins already from this draw.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a hot 17.01 over 295m finishing third at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Cambridge Raceway over 457m. Last start finished 6th in a R/A FIN on March 12 over 457m at Cambridge Raceway behind Yuki beaten 11 lengths (26.43). Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 16.65. Better than that and worth following up.
