Addington Extra Race 2

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

OPAWA ELVIS (7) is a talented dog yet to miss the placings, including wins at his last two on end, the latest at this track (16.86). Tends to go well on this box draw. Steps up in class but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. STARTING OVER (5) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 295m at this track, taking a Class 2 in a flying 17.05. Top win two back and can measure up again. HEART BEATS RICO (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from 12 tries. Below best last time at this track (17.39) in a Class 4, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Down grades in class today and expected to run well. PORK CHOP (8) has won at this course and distance and warrants respect. Odds will be lucrative.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.39) in a Class 4, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and three places from eight starts. Has ability and is a key chance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 8 lengths behind Homebush Diva over 295m. Not far away last start. Racing well and has to be included.
