Addington Race 9

SPRINGSTON HOTEL DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

GOTCHA KANE (6) was a last start winner (16.98) from Box 7 at this track. Has been winning in very quick times and looks the one to beat. OPAWA WEATHERLEY (4) was well back throughout but attacked the line to hit the frame when a 6 length third (17.42) at this track in Class 5. Consistent performer in the top grade for a long time now. Overdue and is among the main hopes. ONE UP (3) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for eight wins and four minors. Missed the frame latest (17.49) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Can feature with the right run. KEYARA (7) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished sixth last time (17.62) at this track. Should be hitting the line stronger than most.

Was out of placings last time (17.49) at this track in a Class 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Strong record off the draw with four wins and two minors from nine starts. Key chance.
