Addington Race 9

SPRINGSTON HOTEL DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

DEWY NEWS (5) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins. In the money last time at this track (17.10) in a Class 5 FIN, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Looks a leading chance on best. SMOKING IVAN (4) jumped cleanly last start and led all the way (16.79) at this track in a Class 5 over 295m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Should be in this for a long way. GOTCHA PENNIES (3) goes very well this trip starting 21 times for 11 wins and four minors. Comes off a (17.02) win last time, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Class 4 over 295m at this track. Looks well placed here and among the chances. HOMEBUSH HENRY (7) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish up north. Should be a strong chance today now back to his preferred track.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a Class 5 H at this track and recording a scintillating 16.80 for the 295m journey. Looks hard to beat here.
