Addington Race 8

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 DASH PBD

Stake: $3,500

HILTON HARDCASE (7) boasts strong form at this distance having won six times from nine starts. Comes off a (17.33) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Class 3 over 295m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. GOTCHA HOMER (4) has missed the frame the last couple but just a few runs back broke the clock when winning over 295m at this track, taking a R/A in a scintillating 16.80. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance today. OPAWA BUSY (3) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 295m behind Ava (17.49) in a Class 5. Has ability and can measure up. BETHANY JEWEL (5) scored with plenty to spare last time. Big chance on that form.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 4.5 lengths fourth over 295m at this track. Much improved for this but might struggle in this field.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
