Addington Race 1

TRACED FROM BIRTH TO ADOPTION DISTANCE

Prize Money: $5,000

NAIL IT (7) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding third (30.49) in a Class 2/3 at this track over 525m. Has been racing in stronger fields over the middle distance. Well worth another try. BUSY WORK (5) stretches out further in journey and is having her first try at the trip. Maiden off this draw but has run some good races. Looks a key chance on best figures. TESS (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (31.01) in a Class 1/2 at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Has had the most experience over a staying distance in this field. STORM'S THUNDER (6) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 525m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Having her first start over this trip. Last start finished fourth at this track over 525m in (31.03). With even luck and a clean start she should be prominent at the business end.
