Addington Race 8

O'SHEA'S PUBLIC HOUSE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

SKELETOR (3) is better than last start when fourth (23.03) from Box 3 at Ascot Park over 390m. Will appreciate a return to this venue and is a recent down grader. Should bounce back. OPAWA AKAELA (5) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won six of eight starts. Below best last time at this track (17.08) in a Class 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DIAL ME IN (4) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (17.30) at this track over 295m. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. Has ability and is one of the better chances. DIAMOND HARRIOT (2) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit. Recently had a solo trial (17.60) on this track over 295m.

Last start finished last in a Class 5 on January 15 over 295m at this track behind Hilton Hardcase beaten 8 lengths (17.82). Forget the latest effort. One of the main chances.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 5th over 295m at this track beaten 6 lengths (17.30) behind Mitcham Jesse in a Class 4 on February 12. Looks one of the chances.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she goes well over this track and distance with six wins from eight starts. Comes through a good form race. Tough to beat.

Missed the frame latest (22.98) when fifth over 390m at Ascot Park in a Class 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting five wins and two places from 12 starts. Needs it easier.
