Addington Race 8

VALLEY INN TAVERN SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

TWO DOWN (3) is a handy type who was well below best latest at Ascot Park, finishing sixth (22.84) in a Class 5. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Has a strong record here at this journey including 12 wins. Will appreciate a return to this venue and can bounce back. UNHINGED RHINO (2) had been in great form but was out of the placings last run, finishing fourth (17.47) in a Class 5 at this track. Normally fast to begin but shuffled back last time. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Has the ability to give this a shake. KEYARA (7) can keep on winning after an outstanding last start success, getting around the 295m at this track in 17.03. Is strong to the line over this distance and expected to feature again. HOMEBUSH GREEDY (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out. Is usually very quick from the lids.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.47) in a Class 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and eight places from 15 starts. Missed the frame last time but prior to that had two placings in a row.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on March 26 over 295m at this track behind Cool Friends beaten 5.5 lengths (17.20) in a Class 5. Placed two back at this track. Look for improvement. Has claims if at her best.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 295m at this track in a handy 17.03, beating Our Sara. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Go close again.
