Addington Race 7

FAMOUS GROUSE LINCOLN DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

DEWY NEWS (6) is a sprinter who thrives over these shorter races. Last start placing over 295m at this track in a Class 5 (17.00). Has a strong record here at this journey including two wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from four starts. Key chance in this line up. GOTCHA HOMER (4) is better than last start when fifth (17.49) in a Class 5 at this track over 295m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Shapes as one to consider. RIPSLINGER RORY (3) ran a good time (16.92) winning a Class 5 FIN two back at this track at double figure odds. Missed the frame latest finishing fourth at this track but did have excuses. Can feature with the right run. HOMEBUSH FUSION (8) is always a threat when he races at this journey. Better for the fresh up run last start.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 17.19, beating Diamond Chloe. Last start finished 5th on August 21 over 295m at this track behind Dingo Night beaten 9 lengths (17.62) in a Class 5. Might find this too tough.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (16.92) beating Opawa Mocha in a Class 5 FIN on August 14. Look for improvement. This appears within her reach.

Hit the frame latest (17.23) when second at this track in a Class 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 13 starts. Hard to follow but has to be a top-four chance.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, coming out of a very strong form race. Looks an each way chance here.
