Addington Race 5

THURSDAY PLACE PICK SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

GO SWEDE (5) missed the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 295m at this track in 17.11. Tricky draw today but does have good mid-race acceleration. Has the ability and expected to go close again. DIAMOND CLAY (2) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same box when third in a Class 4 at this track (17.36) and making it three straight placings. Rates a key player. VILI VROOM VROOM (7) was last seen when rocketing around 295m at this track in 16.89 for a 1.3 lengths win. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ZANAB BALE (3) didn't handle the jump to this grade last start but has now had the experience. Cannot be ruled out.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ascot Park over 390m. Last start finished 5th in a Class 4 on August 21 over 295m at this track behind Raphael Jewel beaten 4.5 lengths (17.38). Capable of taking this out.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 457m at Ascot Park. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.36) in a Class 4, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length fifth (17.55) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. A rough place chance at best today.
