Addington Race 10

ROSE & THISTLE SPRINT HEAT 3 PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

OPAWA BIRSTALL (5) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (17.18), beaten 1.75 lengths. Last start effort was in a quickly run race. Ready to find winning form. RIPSLINGER DELTA (2) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (23.02) at Ascot Park in Class 0 over 390m. Does step out of maiden company today. Makes plenty of appeal if she runs up to latest. DAISY LU (6) was well supported last time but could only manage third (17.31), beaten 1.2 lengths. Overdue and expected to feature again. PHOEBE JEWEL (4) cannot be left out over a shorter distance. Is a reliable beginner.

Good performance to win by 2.5 lengths at Ascot Park over 390m (23.02) beating Homebush Tommy in Class 0 on January 28. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Most recent effort finished 6th in a Class 2 on February 4 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Runaway Me beaten 7 lengths (23.56). Down grades and dangerous today.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Class 1 on February 4 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Back Chat Bailey beaten 6 lengths (23.43). Placed two back at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.75 lengths third but did clock a solid 17.18 over the 295m trip. Hard to beat with even luck.

In the money last time at this track (17.31) in a Class 1, finishing a 1.2 lengths third. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Can continue the solid form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.45) in a Class 1, finishing a 3 length fourth. Has two successes and five minors from 14 starts from box 7. Suited here and expected to run well.
