Addington (G) Race 8

GARRARD'S HORSE & HOUND DASH PBD

Stake: $3,000

OFFICER RIDLEY (2) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage second (17.45) at this track. Likely to feature again. DEFER (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (17.60) last time in a Class 2 at this track. Not the quickest into stride but does hit the line strongly. Has ability and is one of the better chances. GO FLYER (6) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (17.39) at this track. Seems to be jumping the lids quickly of late. Can measure up. DIAMOND SCARLETT (8) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit. Down grades in class so respect.

Hit the frame latest (17.45) when second at this track in a Class 1. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from seven starts. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. This looks too tough.

Good effort last time when second (22.89) over 390m at Ascot Park. Drawn awkwardly. Has claims if at his best.

Missed the frame latest (17.60) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 2. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Hard to beat with even luck.
