Addington Race 4

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RENAE LLOYD DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

GOTCHA CHESTER (8) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 17.30 beating One Stocking. Steps up in class but won with authority last start. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. MOLLY ROSE (4) has a strong overall record having five wins and 11 places from 22 starts but was out of the money last time when seventh (17.58) over 295m at this track. Tends to go well on this box draw. Looks suited and expected to run well. GOTHAMS QUEEN (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (17.92) in a Class 3 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. CLAWS IN KRYPTON (3) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought at decent each-way value.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.92) in a Class 3, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has two wins and five placings from 13 starts from the draw. Hard to beat with even luck.

Placed last time (17.69) at this track in a Class 3, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and seven places from 11 starts. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Class 3 on December 23 over 295m at this track behind Hilton Hustler beaten 7 lengths (17.58). Placed two back at this track. Comes through a good form race. Expected to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (18.01) in a Class 3, finishing a 6 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Makes appeal on best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy 17.30, beating One Stocking. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame two times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can go on with it.
