Addington (G) Race 6

SPRINGSTON HOTEL STAKES HEAT 1

Prize Money: $3,636

GO BRIAR (5) is first up since finishing fifth (30.68) in a Class 2/3 at this track over 525m four months ago. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. ZARA JEM (3) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 525m behind Valderrama (30.87) in a Class 2. Can do much better this time. MAESTRO MOJITO (7) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts back but finished third last time (30.44) at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to be in this for a long way. KNOW MATCH (4) placed third at long odds last time and is worth considering.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.87) in a Class 2, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has three successes and two minors from nine starts from box 3. Looks suited and should go close.

Hit the frame latest (26.39) when third at Manawatu in a Class 3. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Returns from a spell and worth noting was a winner when last resuming, scoring over 525m at this track. Looks a key chance here fresh.

Was out of the placings last time but before that placed two on end, the most recent when second (26.60) over 457m at Ascot Park. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks safely held.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 525m in 30.10. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at this track at Class 1 a week-and-a-half ago. Has ability and worth including.
