Addington Race 2

GREYHOUNDS LOVE TO RACE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,818

OPAWA BIRSTALL (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 295m. Running out nominations in maiden grade and can make it back-to-back wins. CRAFTY KEEPER (8) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (17.48) in a Class 0 over 295m at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. RIPSLINGER NESTA (3) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Class 0 at this track over 295m. Can improve sharply here. MASTER WOODS (6) is a D Voyce-trained newcomer by Bernardo out of Charlotte Lu. Beat a subsequent race-day winner in a trial (17.06) on this track over 295m. Bound to be very well supported.

Jumps from box 2 for the first time after scoring at this track (17.38) in a Class 0. Can make it two on the bounce.

Yet to break through in four runs, the latest effort a second over 295m at this track in 17.67. In the money at the last two runs. The testing material.

Ran a fair race on debut when settled off the speed early and held position to finish fourth (17.63) at this track over 295m. Likely to be much improved. Improver who must come into calculations.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fourth (18.03) at this track over 295m. Should be further improved. Solid showing expected.

First starter by Bernardo from Charlotte Lu. Trained by D Voyce. Did win a trial (17.06) on this track over 295m. Market moves likely to signal ability but profiles strongly for this.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 295m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.

Latest effort finished 3rd over 295m at this track beaten 4 lengths (17.48) behind Our Echo in a Class 0 on December 19. Rates highly on best form. Right in this.
