Addington Race 1

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Stake: $3,200

TOXIC VENOM (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and four minors from 13 tries. Was out of the placings last time (17.38) at this track in a Class 3, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks a key chance on best form. DIAMOND CLAY (6) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Ascot Park over 390m behind Mitcham Eric (22.90) in a Class 3. Scored at his previous run. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. APOLLO BALE (5) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (17.22) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Expected to be in this for a long way. HOMEBUSH GREEDY (8) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Missed the frame latest (17.38) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 3. Goes very well off the draw boasting four wins and two places from seven starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Comments

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when she was an impressive winner scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Class 2 at this track and clocking a fast 17.26 over the 295m trip. Can come into calculations at odds.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths third at this track but did record a slick 17.22 over the 295m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Ascot Park over 390m. Last start finished 6th on April 23 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Mitcham Eric beaten 6 lengths (22.90) in a Class 3. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.
