Addington Race 1

TRACED FROM BIRTH TO ADOPTION DISTANCE

Prize Money: $5,909

CHIEF DRIBBLE (3) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 3.5 lengths (40.29) at this track. Is a very versatile dog who performs well over all distances. Looks a top chance again. OPAWA SHIRLEY (8) has a strong record this trip with five wins and six placings from 12 starts. Hit the frame latest (40.54) when second at this track in a Class 2/3. Predicted to lead this race early and be very hard to catch. Can feature in the finish. FOX ON FIRE (5) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. In the money last time at this track (40.99) in a Class 2/3, finishing a 10-length third. Looks one of the chances. LITTLE DODO (4) boasts a solid strike rate from this box. Is a strong staying dog who will be hitting the line powerfully.

Strong performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 681m (40.29) beating Opawa Shirley in Class 2/3 on March 26. Goes very well from this draw including seven wins. Looks the one to beat again.

Last start finished 2nd in a Class 2/3 on March 26 over 681m at this track behind Chief Dribble beaten 3.5 lengths (40.54). Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.
