Addington Race 8

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT HEAT 1 PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

BOSS ON TOP (6) goes very well at this journey having never missed the frame including two wins. Recorded a 3 length win (17.04) in a Class 1 last time at this track. Beat a smart dog last start and should feature. PORK CHOP (8) turned in a moderate performance last time when eighth at this track over 525m behind Glasses (31.18) in a Class 1 H. Recent racing over the middle distance but much better suited to the sprint trip today. Bold showing expected. SELENA JEWEL (7) hit the ground running last start and was never headed to land her maiden success over 295m at this track (17.36). Will break from a wide draw. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. HOPES ARE HIGH (5) has strong claims after a top-three finish from this box last time out. Will need a clean run from the squeeze box.

Has finished seventh at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 13 lengths behind Ripslinger Rayna over 295m. Not far away last start. Needs to lift.

Missed the frame latest (31.18) when eighth over 525m at this track in a Class 1 H. Has two successes and five minors from 13 starts from box 8. Makes strong appeal.
