Addington Race 11

RACING AGAIN THURSDAY 7 MAY SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,200

RIPSLINGER BIRDY (4) is better than last start when seventh (17.80) from Box 3 at this track over 295m. The form from her last run stacks up well. Should play a prominent role. KAITAIA FIRE (8) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (17.52) last time in a Class 1 at this track. In the mix. QUEEN LUNA (7) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here. Odds will be appealing.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Ascot Park over 390m. Capable of taking this out.

Latest effort finished last on March 23 over 295m at this track behind James Baxter beaten 5.5 lengths (17.80) in a Class 1. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Expected to prove hard to beat.
