Addington Race 4

BARGE BALE DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

EXPLORER TIKO (8) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (17.76), beaten 7 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Is usually a very speedy beginner and has winning claims on her best figures. DIAMOND GRACE (4) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at this track over 295m behind Welly Wally (17.64) in a Class 2. Does drop down in class and can measure up this time. HOMEBUSH MURPHY (5) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 7th at this track in Class 1 H company. Key player if he finds his best. HOMEBUSH HELEENA (6) has top-three aspirations after placing from this box last time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 457m at Ascot Park in a handy 26.40, beating Homebush Annie. Capable of another bold run.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 8 length fourth over 295m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.
