Addington (G) Race 5

THE BRICKWORKS BAR & RESTAURANT SPRINT FINAL PBD

Stake: $2,800

OPAWA BUBBLES (5) is on a hot streak recording a 16.90 win over 295m at this track last start following on from a sharp 22.63 victory at Ascot Park over 390m the start prior. In form and can measure up again. GOTCHA LUCK (2) proved too good on debut over 295m at this track to score by 7 lengths (16.98). Drawn to take advantage of good early pace. Will break from the same draw this time. Expected to feature again. TRAVELLER DORA (8) impressed last time when posted a strong 17.21 win here in a new PB this course and distance. Harder here but expected to measure up. GETTING CLOSER (6) impressed in his swift 17.23 win last time. Looks an each way chance in a very competitive field.

Good effort last time when second (17.28) over 295m at this track. Boxed the fence this time. Heading in the right direction and well placed to be very competitive.

Showed good early speed on debut. Won comfortably by 7 lengths at this track (16.98) beating Molly Rose in a Class 0 H on July 18. Will find this much tougher but she's got good box manners and speed. Will find this much tougher but she should put herself in the race early.

In the money last time at this track (17.50) in a Class 0 H, finishing a 8 length second. Has two minors from three starts from box 3. Looks a place chance at best.

Easy winner leading throughout to score by 8 lengths in a Class 0 H last start at this track, recording a scintillating 16.90 for the 295m journey. Is two from two and and looms as a strong winning chance again.

Is a five start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (17.32) over 295m at this track. Was on pace and game in defeat. Hard to recommend this time.
