Addington Race 5

THURSDAY $500 PLACE PICK SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

HOMEBUSH SWINDLE (2) finished in the minors last start over the 295m at this track but ran a strong 17.14 last start. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. OPAWA ELVIS (7) found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and fell. Has plenty of ability and hopefully has lost no confidence from last start fall. Rates a key player and gets chance to atone. TINWALD (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and six minors from 21 tries. Below best last time at this track (17.35) in a Class 5, finishing a 6 length seventh. Drops down in class and is among the chances. RUBBER JAY (6) generally performs well over this distance. Odds will be appealing.
