Addington Race 6

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Stake: $3,800

GOTCHA HIDE (2) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4 lengths into third (17.16) at this track in a Class 4 over 295m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. TWO DOWN (5) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (17.60), beaten 7 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Shapes as one to consider. HARD FROST (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 17.02 beating Go Swede. Gets an ideal draw and is one of main contenders. DREAM AHEAD (7) missed the frame latest (17.31) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 4. Has two wins already from this draw. Meets a very even line-up today.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.36) in a Class 4, finishing a 7 length fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and four places from 15 starts. Others appear better placed.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on January 8 over 295m at this track behind Gothams King beaten 7 lengths (17.60) in a Class 4. Placed two back at this track. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Key chance.

Has finished fourth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 10 lengths behind Jerry Cola over 295m. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 16.85. Capable of a good showing.
