Addington Extra Race 1

PRETTY GOOD SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,000

HOMEBUSH NIKKI (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 17.34 beating Valen Vikkers. Does step out of maiden grade but is still the one to beat again. OPAWA SPONGE (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (17.91) in a Class 1 H at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Key runner on best form. CLAWS IN EMPEROR (2) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (17.81) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Winning chance. LITTLE RUSTY (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back. Has poor box manners but with gaps in running can fly home late.

Last start finished 2nd on June 1 over 295m at this track behind Go Flyer beaten 5.5 lengths (17.81) in a Class 1. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.
