Addington Race 11

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT HEAT 4 PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA ELVIS (8) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 295m at this track in 16.87. Still learning and can be a stride slow to jump but has electric acceleration. Hard to top on the time from two back. RUBBER JAY (6) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Class 0 winner three starts ago and returns to Addington where she tends to run well. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. RIPSLINGER BIRDY (2) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Class 1 winner (17.48) three back at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. FLAWLESS CHATTER (3) has strong claims after leading and holding on for a top-three finish last time out. Showed very good box speed last start.

Was out of placings last time (23.52) at Ascot Park in a Class 1, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Makes strong appeal.

Hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2 lengths in a Class 1 H at this track and recording a lightning 16.87 for the 295m journey. Key chance.
