Addington Race 1

INTER - ISLAND DISTANCE HEAT

Prize Money: $7,000

BARTLETT (3) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at Ascot Park over 630m (37.15), scoring by 4 lengths. Beat a very good staying dog last start and can measure up again. CLASSY HUNTER (7) boasts a strong record this course with seven wins and eight minors from 21 tries. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (40.64) in a Class 0 last time at this track. Can feature in the finish. LITTLE DODO (5) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (41.32) in a Class 2/3 at this track. Small field will suit his racing style. Well placed here and should do much better.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 630m at Ascot Park. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ascot Park over 630m in 37.15 last start, beating Chief Dribble. Looks suited and should go close.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.13) in a Class 2 FIN, finishing a 12 length eighth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed eight times. Can measure up on best.
