Addington Extra Race 1

SPRINGSTON HOTEL STAKES

Stake: $4,400

TWISTED TRUTH (4) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 1.75 lengths second (26.01) in a Class 1/2 at Manawatu. Got the money at his only try from this box. Capable of going well again. BROADWAY JAZZ (7) latest effort finished 2nd over 525m at this track, beaten 8 lengths (30.89) behind Fireman Fred in a Class 2 FIN on June 20. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DIAMOND NICKI (3) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Good effort last time when third (26.88) over 457m at Ascot Park. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. Last start finished sixth over 525m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Happy to risk in this.
