Addington (G) Race 7

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

GOTCHA JAI (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3 lengths into second (17.43) at this track in a Class 2 H over 295m. Is a recent down grader to this class and makes plenty of appeal. DRIBBLES CARD (7) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage seventh (17.86) at this track. Usually shows very good early box speed. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ABSINTHE (8) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (17.13) at this track. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including four wins. Mapped to get a nice run early and is a leading player again. APRIL JEWEL (3) has a solid strike rate from this box. Odds will be lucrative.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished last in a Class 2 H on February 6 over 295m at this track behind Roberto Jewel beaten 8 lengths (17.86). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Key chance here on best.
