Addington Race 1

CONGRATS CHCH STAYER OF THE YEAR CHIEF DRIBBLE DISTANCE

Stake: $6,300

CHIEF DRIBBLE (6) is a promising type who notched his 28th career success when too good (43.01) at this track last time. Form here is sound including 14 wins. Has a strong record out of this box with five wins and three minor placings from 11 starts. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. LITTLE DODO (7) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from six tries. Missed the frame latest (43.68) when fourth over 732m at this track in a Class 2/3 FIN. Among the main chances. ADOBE VIDEL (5) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a half a length second (30.74) behind Minnie Lu at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from six starts. Must be included in calculations. GRANDE VUE ACE (4) back up to a staying distance today. Cannot be ruled out.

Put a space on them to post a big 8 lengths win at this track over 732m (43.01) beating Adobe Videl in Class 2/3 FIN on July 17. Makes plenty of appeal. Leading contender.
