Addington Race 5

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

EARLY CROW EVANS (3) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around this track in 16.93 to score two back then following on with a 17.37 win over 295m at this track. In form and can measure up again. HOMEBUSH PAULINE (5) was a strong winner (22.91) from box 5 last time, scoring by 2.25 lengths at Ascot Park. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Deserves serious consideration again. HOMEBUSH ALEC (7) pinged the lids from this draw last time and led throughout but grabbed late when a one length second (17.94) at this track over 295m in a Class 1. Has the ability and looks a key chance. OPAWA STORY (6) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out. Down grades a class today.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 295m at this track in a handy 17.37 beating Homebush Stumpy. Has a blistering 16.93 best time at this course and distance. Expected to go well again.
