Addington Race 10

THE HOMEKILL GUYS GALAXY SPRINT (GROUP 1) SEMI FINAL 4 PBD

Prize Money: $5,909

OPAWA MOCHA (8) is in hot form with back to back wins at this track, running a scintillating 16.69 two back following up with 16.57 last time. Rates on top and can continue on winning ways. SMOKING IVAN (1) goes very well this course and distance starting 23 times for nine wins and eight minors. Comes off a (16.78) win last time, scoring by 0.7 lengths in a Class 5 H over 295m at this track. Beat a very talented dog last start and definitely looks one of the chances. GOTCHA WINNIE (4) is a well performed sprinter ideally suited at the shorter trips. Was in the money last time (16.82) over 295m at this track in a Class 5 H. Form here at this distance is sound including seven wins. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from three attempts. Can measure up. PRIORITY (7) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate. Should be hitting the line strongly from out wide.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd in a Class 5 H on October 30 over 295m at this track behind Opawa Mocha beaten 4.5 lengths (16.87). Has the ability to be in the finish.
