Addington Extra Race 3

TIP THE WINK SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $5,364

STRASBURG (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and four minors from 11 tries. Placed last time (17.05) at this track in a Class 5, finishing second and beaten a nose. Rates a leading player. COOL FRIENDS (3) is a well performed dog and winner of 14 races who was in the minor money last time out at this track (16.91). Has a good record here at this journey. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Leading player again. PICKLE SWITCH (8) generally flies the lids but last time was always well back and ran below best, finishing sixth (22.86) in a Class 5 FIN at Ascot Park. The start before hit the ground running and won (22.86) at Ascot Park. Form here at this distance is sound. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. DIAMOND IVY (5) has drawn the squeeze box but must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (17.36) at big odds over 295m at this track. Is a danger.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ascot Park (22.86) in a Class 5 FIN, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting six victories and four places from 18 starts. Well placed and a great chance to atone.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when she clocked a hot 17.00 over 295m finishing third at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
