OSCAR BONAVENA - over-raced early and middle stages. Raced wide final bend. When questioned regarding the performance driver M Purdon advised the horse had raced keenly in a fresh state and is best suited when able to be saved for one run. Mr Purdon further added he was satisfied with the performance given the 35m handicap and it was the horse's first start back at Addington for some time after having a spell.
