Addington Race 4

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

OPAWA CLIFTON (8) has a strong overall record having four wins and five places from 13 starts but was out of the money last time when fourth (17.23) over 295m at this track. Form here at this distance is sound. Drawn wide but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. MITCHAM RENAE (3) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at Ascot Park over 390m. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Winning chance. GO SWEDE (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (17.77) last time in a Class 4 at this track. Does drop in class today and can do much better this time. DOM BAXTER (6) has claims fresh from a recent placing. Usually has the speed to put himself in the race early.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he was an impressive winner scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Class 2 H at this track and clocking an outstanding 16.98 for the 295m trip. Leading player.
