Addington Race 3

HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY DAVE ROBBIE SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

DEWY NEWS (5) comes off a swift 17.20 placing at this track over 295m. Gets a tricky box so will need early luck but has the ability and looks hard to top. OPAWA BUSY (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (16.99) behind Pickle Switch at this track. Hard to beat again with a similar beginning. HILTON COOKIE (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that clocked a fast 17.27 win over 295m at this track. Top win two back and can measure up again. HOMEBUSH FOX (7) cannot be left out over a shorter trip. Recent racing up north and will enjoy returning to this track.

Was out of placings last time (17.52) at this track in a Class 4, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 11 starts. Needs it easier.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2.5 lengths third at this track but did record a useful 17.20 over the 295m journey. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 295m at this track. Will not find this easy. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
