Addington Race 2

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT FEATURE PBD

Prize Money: $5,955

OPAWA GEORGIA (7) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (17.47) at this track. Didn't get much luck last start and should bounce back. OPAWA GABBY (8) is a talented type who notched her 6th career success when too good (17.11) at this track last time. Form should stack up. LET HER STEAM (4) got around 295m in a solid 17.21 when winning a Class 2 at this track last start. Steps up in class and should be in this for a long way. HOMEBUSH HAROLD (2) was in the money last start and poses a threat again. Is on the quick back up after racing here on Tuesday.

Backs up after winning by a neck at this track (17.47) beating Christian Jewel in a Class 2 on July 24 six days ago. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 17.47 over 295m at this track. Has ability and is a key chance.
