Addington Race 4 - ROSE & THISTLE STAKES
EXPLORER BOOTS (6) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (30.36) at this track in Class 3 over 525m. Rises in class today but is sure to prove hard to beat. OPAWA SCOOTER (8) was a winner two back then strongly fancied last time but could only manage a third (30.34) at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Bold showing expected. SOMETHING BOLD (5) has been out of the placings at her last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (30.59) in a R/A H at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. FOX ON FIRE (4) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance. Did race over the extreme trip last start and will be running home strong in this.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 525m at this track in a handy 30.36, beating Opawa Fannin. Makes plenty of appeal. Looks well placed and can measure up again.
