Addington Race 6

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

TWO DOWN (4) goes very well this trip starting 22 times for 11 wins and four minors. Scored by 2 lengths last time (16.92) in a Class 5 over 295m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. PRIORITY (8) had been racing well with a Class 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Cambridge Raceway. Will run out this distance very strongly. Key player on best and worth another try. OPAWA AKAELA (6) has a strong record this journey here with seven wins and a minor from 11 starts. Comes off a (17.01) win last time, scoring by a head in a Class 5 over 295m at this track. Suited here and expected to run well. PAW XIAN (5) recent racing over the middle distance but has strong credentials over this journey. Tricky draw to overcome.

Good effort to win last start by 0.7 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy (16.99), beating Broadway Gem. Solid win last time out but this looks tough.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 17.08 last start, beating Dream Ahead. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Can make it two on the bounce.

Didn't make the placings last time at Cambridge Raceway (21.60) in a Class 5 FIN, finishing a 10 length fourth. Has two wins and six placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks a key chance.
