Addington Race 6

RED SNAPPER SEAFOOD SUMNER SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $2,909

HOMEBUSH BABY (3) racing well without winning, placing at her last five runs. Last start finished 2nd in a Class 1 on February 4 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Crafty Keeper beaten 1.3 lengths (23.30). Overdue and gets her chance. OUR ECHO (8) finds it hard to win. Finished second (17.44) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Bold showing expected from an ideal draw. KAITAIA FIRE (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (17.46) in a Class 1 at this track. Has ability and can measure up. HOMEBUSH ALEC (5) was out of the frame here most recently but was against a stronger field. Did show good box manners most recent start and can atone today.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.93) in a Class 1, finishing a 11 length sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and eight places from 22 starts. Better for the run and is among the chances.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 295m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 295m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (17.46) behind Grizzly Jewel in a Class 1 on February 2. Placed two back at this track. Around the mark two starts back. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
