Addington Race 12

PERERA REHOMING KENNELS DASH HEAT 4 PBD

Prize Money: $3,000

OPAWA ELVIS (6) got a clear run and led until the final stages when second and beaten 1.5 lengths (17.38) at this track in a Class 1 FIN over 295m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Took a promising young dog to beat him last start. Key chance in this line up. HOMEBUSH HAROLD (5) is progressing well scoring last time out (17.83) at this track and bringing up his 3rd career win. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Still learning but has plenty of raw ability. Leading player again. CLASSY HUNTER (8) is worth forgiving for her last effort when eighth (18.24) at this track over 295m. Has a good record here at this journey. Can measure up this time. DIAMOND LUIGI (7) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone. Odds will be appealing.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Ascot Park (23.03) beating Mitcham Blue in a Class 1 on February 11. Others favoured this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.48) in a Class 2, finishing a 5 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from four starts. Place claims.
