Addington Race 2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY MCCOOK DASH PBD

Stake: $3,200

APRIL JEWEL (3) below best last time at this track (17.41) in a Class 3, finishing a 3-length fourth. Looks well placed and should feature. OPAWA STORY (7) was narrowly beaten when placed two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (17.55) in a Class 3 at this track. Expected to do much better this time. MITCHAM ROSE (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (17.39) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Key runner on best form. SIDELINE SASHA (4) drops in journey and is worth considering for all combinations.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 4th on May 22 over 295m at this track behind Not Dark Yet beaten 3 lengths (17.41) in a Class 3. More than capable and has to be included.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a sharp 17.29 over 295m finishing third at this track. Harder here and place looks best.

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a solid 17.19 over 295m finishing second at this track. Should be in this for a long way.

In the money last time at Ascot Park (23.26) in a Class 3, finishing a 2 length third. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and eight places from 19 starts. Will need the right run.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 295m at this track. Can't recommend him in this.
