Addington Race 3

BALCAIRN STOCK FOODS & PET SUPPLIES LTD SPRINT FEATURE PBD

Prize Money: $5,000

ROVANIEMI (6) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts four wins and four placings. Hit the frame latest (17.13) when second at this track in a Class 3. Took a strong dog to run past him last start. Looks a key chance on best form. TINWALD (3) is better than last start when fourth (17.59) in a Class 3 at this track over 295m. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. OPAWA CLIFTON (7) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and five placings from eight starts. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (16.98) in a Class 2 H over 295m at this track. Steps up in class but can hit the frame with the right run. GOTCHA CHESTER (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start. Wide draw should assist chances.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Improved sharply when second behind Sun Strike at this track last start over 295m (17.00). Looks a solid contender.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 4th in a Class 3 on February 5 over 295m at this track behind Go Swede beaten 2.75 lengths (17.28). Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Won at this track over 295m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 295m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
