Addington Race 4

DAVE ROBBIE PHOTOGRAPHER DASH PBD

Stake: $3,200

OPAWA BAMBRY (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 3 last run (17.12) at this track. One of the leading chances. APRIL JEWEL (3) is a last start placegetter in Class 3 company, jumping from this box and finishing a 1.3 lengths second over 295m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and one minors. Worth another try. GO MILTON (2) jumped cleanly and went straight to the lead, holding on for a place when second (17.21) at this track in a Class 3 over 295m. Has performed well from this box with a win and six minor placings to his name from nine starts. Must be included in calculations. YATRI BALE (5) has placed in all four last start runs and can sneak into the finish again.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just a head but did clock a respectable 17.21 over the 295m journey. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 3 at this track when a 1.3 lengths second but did run a slick 17.30 over the 295m trip. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Nearing another win after her success on May 9 at this track over 295m. Last start was second over 295m in 17.12, behind Toxic Venom. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 295m at this track beaten 1.2 lengths (17.23) behind Homebush Megan in a Class 3 on May 29. Overdue and expected to feature again.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (17.31) beating Mellon Collie in a Class 2 on May 23. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a fast 17.31 over 295m finishing third at this track. Will need to find best form.
