Addington Race 1

GREYHOUNDS HAVE FULL TRACEABILITY FROM BIRTH SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,800

GOTCHA TANE (6) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 295m (17.38). Returns to a course where he has performed well. Won at his only start from this box. Has ability and is a key runner. APOLLO BALE (3) missed the frame last time when fourth (17.40) at this track but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HOMEBUSH BENTLEY (2) posted an outstanding 17.03 winning over 295m at this track last start. Should be in this for a long way. DIAMOND LUIGI (4) cannot be ruled out.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 17.26 when second at this track latest but the run prior she recorded a decent 17.25 over 295m finishing third at this track. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Missed the frame latest (17.27) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 3. Has four wins and eight placings from 20 starts from the draw. Looks a place chance at best.
