Addington (G) Race 10

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH HEAT 3 PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

GOTCHA JET (2) scored by 3.5 lengths last time (16.87) in a Class 1 over 295m at this track. Steps up in class today but has been winning in quick times. Gets a favourable draw and rates on top. OPAWA CLIFTON (7) sailed across from an outside draw last start to score an all-the-way win (16.84) at this track in a Class 1 over 295m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Should be in this for a long way. TRAVELLER DORA (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (17.56) in a Class 3 at this track. Drops a class today and gets her chance to atone. HOMEBUSH PHANTOM (6) jumps at a shorter distance and still warrants respect. Is capable of muscling up in the rush to the first bend.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 295m at this track in a handy 16.87 beating Daisy Lu. Unbeaten in two starts from this draw. The one to beat.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he recorded a good 17.21 over 295m finishing third at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.
