Addington (G) Race 12

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH HEAT 5 PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

DEFER (7) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (17.36) behind Opawa Akaela at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Not the quickest to jump but does run out the trip powerfully. Sure to be about the mark. SIDELINE SASHA (8) clocked a good 22.56 when winning over 390m at Ascot Park last start. Expected to feature again. HOMEBUSH JACK (2) took the sit on the lead from a low draw but levelled up and ran away to win (17.51) at this track in Class 1 over 295m. Rises in grade here but is still a leading player. ALL TOO SOON (4) is always a threat when he races at this journey. Down grades and dangerous.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 295m at this track in a handy 17.51, beating Opawa Connor. Makes plenty of appeal. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.
