Addington (G) Race 6

MAYHOUNDS.ORG.NZ REHOMING GROUP DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

HOMEBUSH MITCH (2) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at Ascot Park over 390m. Running out nominations in this class and expected to be right there at the finish again. MITCHAM CRICHTON (3) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5 lengths away in second (22.95) at Ascot Park in a Class 2 over 390m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Leading player again. ROUND OF BUCKS (5) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (17.60), beaten 4.5 lengths. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance despite drawing the squeeze box. GRIZZLY JEWEL (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently. Include in all combination bets.

In the money last time at Ascot Park (22.95) in a Class 2, finishing a 5 length second. Has two placings from three starts from the draw. Looks a key chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Class 2 H on February 6 over 295m at this track behind Roberto Jewel beaten 4.5 lengths (17.60). Placed two back at Ascot Park. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 17.28, beating Homebush Baby. Last start finished 4th on February 6 over 295m at this track behind Homebush Tink beaten 9 lengths (17.85) in a Class 2 H. Can do better this time.
