Addington (G) Race 6

MAYHOUNDS.ORG.NZ REHOMING GROUP DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

HAS POTENTIAL (3) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 4.5 lengths away in third (30.58). Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Had been racing over the middle distance but is just as capable of the sprint trip. Top prospect. OPAWA KATRINA (4) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 17.48. Jumping from the pinch draw but has the ability and in winning form. Steps up in class but a bold showing is expected again. EXPLORER TIKO (7) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Homebush Tink (17.73) in a Class 2 H. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has won four of 10 starts from this draw. Expecting another good run. BACK CHAT BAILEY (8) is a last-start placegetter out of the same box - should be thereabouts. Backing up quickly after racing on Wednesday.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last over 390m at Ascot Park beaten 8 lengths (23.38) behind Master Woods in a Class 2 on February 25. Placed two back at Ascot Park. Right in the mix again.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 295m at this track by 5.5 lengths in a Class 1 H. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Was out of placings last time (17.74) at this track in a Class 2 H, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed nine times from this draw. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
