Addington Race 7

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

RIPSLINGER NESTA (3) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 2 length win at this track in a handy 17.63. Only blemish was when racing over the middle distance, appreciates the sprint journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. Form reads well for this. OUR ECHO (8) recorded a 1.75 lengths third in a Class 1 last time 17.82 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but expected to feature again. KAITAIA FIRE (7) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 295m behind Homebush Harold (18.46) in a Class 1. One of the better chances. ONE STOCKING (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start. Down grades in class today.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a long neck over 390m at Ascot Park in a handy 23.21, beating Homebush Bentley. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.59) in a Class 2 H, finishing a 4 length fifth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from 12 starts. Danger with even luck.
