Addington (G) Race 11

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH HEAT 4 PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

HOMEBUSH GENA (2) is in hot form winning her last two on end, the latest jumping from this same box to score in a Class 2 at Ascot Park (22.69). Remains in the same grade and should be in this for a long way. KNOW MATCH (7) got around the 295m at this track to take a Class 1 in a good 17.27 for a half a length victory. Steps up in class but is in form and must include in calculations. BIG TIME DONCIC (4) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, 2 lengths from the winner Sideline Sasha (22.70) at Ascot Park. Expected to be in the finish again. HOMEBUSH SOBERS (3) will be hard to beat with a drop in trip. Odds will be appealing.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 390m at Ascot Park by 1.5 lengths in a Class 2. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

In the money last time at Ascot Park (22.70) in a Class 2, finishing a 2 length second. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and six places from 16 starts. Looks all set to find the winners' list.

Strong performance tracking the speed and going on to score by a half a length in a Class 1 last start at this track, clocking a fast 17.27 over the 295m trip. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.
