Addington Race 2

VALLEY INN TAVERN SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,200

HARD FROST (8) goes very well this trip starting 13 times for five wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (17.84) when seventh over 295m at this track in a Class 2 FIN. Forgive last start when well in the market. Looks a leading chance on best. SYLVIA (3) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 1.5 lengths away in second (17.37) at this track in a Class 2 FIN over 295m. Bold showing expected. APOLLO BALE (6) was crowded for room and fell this course and distance last time and has been spelled since. Provided he hasn't lost any confidence he must be included in calculations. GO FLYER (7) has strong credentials from this draw. Put in all combination bets.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 525m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.
