Addington Extra Race 5

$159.2M CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY PBD

Stake: $3,200

GETTING CLOSER (6) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (17.21) at this track in a Class 2 FIN over 295m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in three starts. Likely to be in the finish again. LITTLE MISS LU (8) is an honest type in the frame at 12 of 20 starts including last time when third (17.24) over 295m at this track. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. MITCHAM JULIAN (4) copped a check in the run last time and never threatened when seventh (23.64) in a Class 3/4 at Ascot Park. Should be in this for a long way. STRAWBERRY GIRL (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently. Should be hitting the line stronger than most.

Most recently finished last on September 18 over 295m at this track behind Gotcha Winnie beaten 13 lengths (17.99) in a Class 3. Forget the latest effort. Can threaten.

Finished third last time (17.71) over 295m at this track. Has a low draw. Sure to be in the mix again.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded a brilliant 17.14 over 295m finishing second at this track. Hard to beat with even luck.
