Addington Race 3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO HARDIE DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

OPAWA EVANS (4) comes off a (16.99) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Class 5 over 295m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. HADWIN BALE (8) goes very well this course and distance starting 29 times for 12 wins and seven minors. Below best last time at this track (17.25) in a Class 5 FIN, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Can feature with the right run. MITCHAM BEN (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (17.14) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including 12 wins. Goes very well from this draw with 10 wins and five minor placings from 18 starts. Can measure up. GOTCHA HOMER (3) up in grade today but is a chance after winning last time.

Eye-catching performance to score by 3 lengths in a Class 4 last start at this track, recording a scintillating 16.92 for the 295m journey. Must be a winning chance again.

Won his last two including a strong win last start racing on the pace over 295m at this track by 1.5 lengths in a Class 5. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 295m at this track. That followed a win two back in 16.87 beating Gotcha Homer over 295m at this track. Hard to recommend from the squeeze box today.

Comments

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he was an impressive winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by one length in a Class 5 H at this track and clocking a dazzling 16.90 over the 295m trip. Well placed and should feature.
