Addington Race 9

SPRINGSTON HOTEL DASH FEATURE PBD

Stake: $4,400

ZANAB BALE (3) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when second beaten a neck (17.13). Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. One of the contenders. PICK AND GO (6) has a strong record this track and trip with 26 wins and 14 placings from 59 starts. Below best last time at Manawatu (22.18) in a Class 4, finishing a 11 length sixth. Looks one of the chances. OPAWA MARCELLE (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and five minors from 13 tries. Scored by half a length last time (16.98) in a Class 4 over 295m at this track. Among the main chances. HOMEBUSH ELLE (7) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Comments

Working her way into winning form after her success on May 3 at this track over 295m. Last start was second over 295m in 17.13, behind Opawa Barns. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Good performance to win by half a length at this track over 295m (16.98) beating Priority in Class 4 on May 22. Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.
