Addington Race 12

$159.2M CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

WHITE NILE (8) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 5 length win at this track in a handy 17.39. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Well placed and can measure up. RIPSLINGER NESTA (3) has been hard to follow lately, running eighth (31.21) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. OPAWA CRACKERS (6) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (17.56) in a Class 1 H at this track. A must include in all combination bets. ELITE OREO (4) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (17.57), beaten 10 lengths. Will be at decent each-way value.

Last start finished seventh on January 28 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Homebush Venom, beaten 16 lengths (24.20) in a Class 1. Not among the main chances this time.

Missed the frame latest (31.21) when eighth over 525m at this track in a R/A FIN. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Deserves another chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on February 9 over 295m at this track behind Classy Hunter beaten 10 lengths (17.57) in a Class 1 H. Placed two back at Ascot Park. Looks a solid hope.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at Ascot Park. Tempted to look elsewhere.
