Addington (G) Race 9

PARLAYSKITCHEN OPENING SATURDAY SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

RIPSLINGER NESTA (4) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second (17.42) in a Class 2 over 295m at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. WHITE NILE (8) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Class 1 winner two back at Ascot Park. Drops back from a middle distance and looks a key chance here. OPAWA CRACKERS (5) doesn't win out of turn. Finished third (17.38) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. The form from her last run stacks up well. Leading chance. APRIL JEWEL (2) is a very honest dog who is right in the mix.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 295m at this track in a handy (17.61), beating Loco Loki. In winning form and must be included.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.11) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 12 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Key chance and should go close.
