Addington Race 9

SPRINGSTON HOTEL DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

BOSS ON TOP (7) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 5.5 lengths at this track in a handy 16.72 beating Homebush Fox. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Steps up in class but can measure up again. HOMEBUSH SWINDLE (3) comes here following a respectable fourth over 295m at this track in 16.93. A must include in all bet types. OPAWA BUSY (2) comes off a speedy 17.18 placing at this track over 295m. Rates a leading chance if he runs up to latest. BUSTED HANDLE (5) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 295m. Last start finished 3rd in a Class 5 on March 19 over 295m at this track behind Two Down beaten 6 lengths (17.18). Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Top chance.

Missed the frame latest (16.93) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and three places from 12 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a brilliant 17.12 over 295m finishing third at this track. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (17.27) at this track in a Class 5, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Must respect.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 295m at this track in a handy 16.72 beating Homebush Fox. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.
