Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 DASH PBD

Stake: $4,400

DINGO NIGHT (3) produced a scintillating 16.73 win over 295m at this track last start. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. GOTCHA SANTANA (2) posted a handy 17.06 when placed over 295m at this track last start in a Class 5. Rates a leading chance if he runs up to the latest. HOMEBUSH ELLE (7) had won two in a row before finishing seventh (17.37) last time at this track. Solid record here at the distance, winning five races. Worth another chance. OPAWA SUSAN (8) scored by 3.5 lengths last time (17.15) in a Class 4 over 295m at this track. Has two wins already from this draw, so go again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 16.97, beating Impressive Show. Last start failed to finish the race over 295m at this track on May 29. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by half a length at this track (17.10) beating Raphael Jewel in a Class 4 on May 29. Happy to risk this time.

Was out of placings last time (17.37) at this track in a Class 5, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Has two successes and two minors from eight starts from box 7. Makes strong appeal.
