Addington Race 8 - SELWYN RAKAIA VETS LTD STAKES
PAW STRIKER (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.29) at this track behind Original Warrior in a Class 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Form from his last run is proving strong. Key chance in this line up. PAW KILTER (2) has a strong record here with five wins and a minor from eight starts. Below best last time at this track (30.66) in a Class 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Will strip a much fitter dog today. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ZESTFUL (4) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at this track over 525m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. With luck in running can be very strong to the line. OPAWA POSTMAN (5) generally performs well over this distance. Meets a very talented field today with many winning chances.

Placed last time (25.38) at Manawatu in a Invitations, finishing second and beaten 1.2 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and five places from 12 starts. Decent recent form so demands respect.

Nearing another win after his success on January 8 at this track over 525m. Last start was second over 525m in 30.29, behind Original Warrior. The form out of the last run measures up. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Solid performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 525m (30.18) beating Opawa Hass in Class 5 on February 19. Has run blistering time here with a 29.96 PB at the distance. Key chance and should go close.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.7 lengths at this track (30.41) beating Therapy Tex in a Class 4/5 on February 5. Would be better placed in something easier.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 525m at this track in a handy (30.26), beating Twisted Truth. Others hold stronger claims.
