Addington Extra Race 4

RACING AGAIN FRIDAY 22 AUGUST SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

DIAMOND CLAY (2) ran a strong 17.13 when filling a minor placing over 295m at this track last start. In form and rates on top this time. ZANAB BALE (5) took advantage of a low draw last start with an all-the-way win (22.66) at Ascot Park in a Class 3 over 390m. Has been flying since resuming from a spell. Deserves serious consideration again. OPAWA RYDER (8) could manage only a 3.5 lengths fifth last start over 295m at this track but in a fast 17.25. The wide draw will suit and expected to be in the early rush. RAKAIA FIRE (4) is always hard to beat when she races here at this trip. A solid top-three chance.

Last start finished last in a Class 4 on July 31 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Swindle beaten 12 lengths (17.93). Capable of much better. Can feature in the finish.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 295m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (17.32) behind Gotcha Homer in a Class 4 on August 14. Not to be underestimated.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by a head at this track over 295m (17.38) beating Will Watch in Class 3 on August 14. Looks a solid hope.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.25) in a Class 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth. Has 14 successes and 14 minors from 49 starts from box 8. Key chance and should go close.
