Addington Race 2

Happy Birthday Christine Mitchell Sprint Pbd

Stake: $2,500

RUNNING ON EMPTY (8) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same box when third in a Class 1 at this track (17.35). Tough to beat on best. OPAWA MADDIE (5) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 17.06 beating Goldstar Friday. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Will go close again if runs up to latest. KILDY'S WHISKEY (2) was in the minors two back (17.40) at this track but ran below best last time at Ascot Park, finishing 6th. Has ability and can measure up. NIGHTHAWK ZEUS (7) is worth each-way consideration after filling a hole last start.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Would be better placed in something easier.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (17.40) over 295m at this track. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished sixth over 295m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Others make more appeal.

Solid performance to win by 1.75 lengths at this track over 295m (17.06) beating Goldstar Friday in Class 1 on December 13. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.
