Addington (G) Race 10

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG WHITE DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

SUN STRIKE (6) missed the frame latest when fifth at this track (17.54) but scored five back at this track (17.20). Is more than capable in this grade and should be very hard to beat this time. BIG DIVOT (4) turned in a solid run last start over 457m at Ascot Park finishing 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (26.47). Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading chance. GOTHAMS KING (3) comes off a slick 17.25 placing at this track over 295m. Fast run latest and rates a key player again. DIAMOND ALICE (2) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box. Does down grade in class today.

Was out of placings last time (30.99) at this track in a Class 4, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from nine starts. Danger with even luck.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 295m. Biggest asset is his ability to jump the boxes quickly. Leading chance on best form.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by half a length at Ascot Park over 390m (22.98) beating Rocking Rory in Class 1/2 on May 27. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
