Addington Race 11

Racing Again Friday 22 November Sprint Pbd

Stake: $3,100

HOMEBUSH GOMEZ (1) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, hitting the line hard to place two back then came home strongly into second (17.35) in a Class 4 at this track last time. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Makes plenty of appeal. GOLDSTAR DECLAN (6) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his enormous win the start prior, getting around this track over 295m in 17.10. Expected to feature on best figures. GOLDSTAR MCKENNA (8) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 2-length third (17.16) behind Goldstar Koda at this track. Can measure up. TRIXIE JEWEL (4) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start. Each way value if she can make a quick beginning.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 2nd over 295m at this track beaten 3 lengths (17.35) behind Rakaia Fire in a Class 4 on November 14. Looks a strong winning hope.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4 length third but did clock a solid 17.25 over the 295m trip. Harder here and looks a place chance only.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing eighth (17.33) at this track last start. Drawn a inside box but needs to find best form to feature.

At the last start finished 6th in a Class 4 on November 6 over 295m at this track behind Goldstar Koda beaten 6 lengths (17.45). Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 16.95. Must include.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (17.41) over 295m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.
