Addington Race 1

THANK YOU MURRAY WIGLEY STAKES

Stake: $6,400

SMELLY HALLE (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 30.59 beating Too Easy. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from six starts. Well placed and can measure up. PAW EARNEST (7) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten half a length into second (30.82) at this track in a Class 3 over 525m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. XISCO BALE (4) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish fourth (30.92) at this track over 525m. Form here at the trip sound including eight wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Does drop back in class and likely to be thereabouts. OPAWA LEO (1) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance. Will appreciate the ace draw.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have a good record at the track and trip, including five wins. Forgive the latest run. Among the chances.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth over 525m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths (30.98) behind Opawa Scooter in a Class 3 on July 9. Holds top-three claims.
