Addington Extra Race 4

RACING AGAIN FRIDAY 8 AUGUST SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,500

GOTCHA PENNIES (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (17.24) from Box 4 at this track over 295m. Can bounce back. GOTHAMS KING (6) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last four runs. Last start finished 2nd on July 31 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Swindle beaten 2.75 lengths (17.22) in a Class 4. Expected to be in this for a long way. HOMEBUSH CALEB (3) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (17.35) at this track. Has ability and is one of the better chances. AVA EFFORT (5) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Comments

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. Last start finished fourth over 295m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Much improved for this but looks tested in this field.
