Addington Race 3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK CARSTON DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

STRASBURG (6) was a winner two back when leading throughout but drifted back latest and safely held when 7th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (17.42). Does scout out wide in the run so draw won't worry. Can atone. WAVE DANCER (3) shapes well for this backing up a superb 17.09 win with success at this track over 295m last time, recording 16.97. Steps up in class today but flying lately and can measure up again. GO SWEDE (7) could manage only fourth at this track last time but impressed when clocking an enormous 17.09 over 295m at this track the start prior. Expecting another bold showing. OPAWA BAXTER (5) was in the money last time at this track (17.22) in a Class 4, finishing a 5 length third. Has already won five times from this draw.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished last in a Class 4 on February 12 over 295m at this track behind Mitcham Jesse beaten 7 lengths (17.42). Has run hot time here with a 16.89 PB at the distance. Looks hard to beat this time.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 295m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
