Addington (G) Race 9

ACCELL THERAPY NZ SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

DIAMOND LUIGI (7) won again in another strong performance after leading to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 1.3 lengths (17.29) at this track over 295m. Does rise slightly in class today but is still hard to go past. RIPSLINGER DELTA (2) was rewarded for her honesty after two minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at Ascot Park over 390m (22.68). Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from five starts. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. GO PRICKLES (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (17.47) in a Class 2 H at this track. One of the better chances. KYLIE BAXTER (8) cannot be left out over a shorter distance. Is backing up quickly after racing on Wednesday.

Good effort to score just a couple of days ago over 390m at Ascot Park by 1.75 lengths in a Class 2. Consistent performer from this draw. Looks the one to beat again.
