Addington Race 7

STEVE ANNGOW DRAPES & BLINDS PH.0272719588 DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

TWO DOWN (5) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 295m at this track two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Took a smart dog to beat him last start and is a leading chance again. BEAST ARISING (4) was a Class 4 winner two back in a Class 4 at this track then jumped from a tricky draw latest and not far away when fourth (22.75) at Ascot Park. Expecting a very competitive run in this line-up. HOMEBUSH SWINDLE (3) finished a 4.5 lengths second last start over 295m at this track in a slick 17.19. Is a strong dog who has been very competitive since arriving in the top class. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. GO LARRY (6) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought. A must include.
