Addington (G) Race 4

THE BRICKWORKS BAR SPRINT HEAT 2 PBD

Prize Money: $3,909

HOMEBUSH RORY (6) scored well last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths at Ascot Park in a handy 23.19 beating High Rise. Awkwardly drawn but has the ability and in winning form. Running out nominations in maiden grade and expected to go well again. HOMEBUSH TROOPER (5) is a handily bred pup that finished fourth on debut at Ascot Park. Did win a four dog trial (23.49) at Ascot Park over 390m prior to debut run. Among the main hopes. OPAWA SPONGE (2) is yet to break through in seven starts but has run a number of placings. Continues to race well without winning, finishing in the money at the last three runs. Deserves a win and gets her chance. HOMEBUSH NIKKI (7) was in the money last start at a short quote - likely to feature again.

Has only been in the placings once from 13 starts. Last raced when sixth over 295m at this track two weeks ago. Well below best last time but expecting sharp improvement.

Last start finished seventh in a Class 0 on April 24 over 295m at this track behind Let Him Fizz, beaten 16 lengths (18.57). Not keen, needs to lift.
