Addington Race 6

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

GOTCHA HIDE (4) could manage only second last time but ran sharp time (17.09) at this track over 295m when beaten 3.5 lengths in a Class 5. Hot time latest and looms as the one to beat. SMOKING IVAN (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at Ascot Park over 390m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Winning chance. GO LARRY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 295m behind Dingo Night (17.48) in a Class 5. Usually slow to jump but has a good turn of foot mid-race. Shapes as one to consider. APRIL JEWEL (6) has strong credentials at this circuit over this journey. Racing in honest form, so stick with.

Good effort to win last start by a head over 295m at this track in a handy (17.07), beating Zippy Ziggy. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.
