Addington (G) Race 7

GREYHOUNDS LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Stake: $2,600

ZANAB BALE (3) ran a head turning 16.96 when winning over 295m at this track last start. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. HOMEBUSH BILLIE (8) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.5 lengths (17.45) behind Homebush Yogi at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. IMPRESSIVE LOVE (4) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at this track over 295m behind Homebush Rocket (17.65) in a Class 3. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Worth following up. BIG TIME DONCIC (6) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 295m at this track by one length in a Class 1 H. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 17.31 over 295m finishing second at this track. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Placed last time (17.45) at this track in a Class 2, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Has two successes and four minors from 10 starts from box 8. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
