Addington Race 3

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY HOWARD ANDERTON SPRINT PBD

Prize Money: $3,182

EARLY CROW EVANS (4) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his quick win a few runs back, getting around Ascot Park over 390m in 22.59. Was beaten by a very smart dog last start in a strong field. Can return to winning form here if runs up to best figures. GOTCHA JAI (2) jumped well from the low draw and led all the way to score last start (17.11) at this track in a Class 2 over 295m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can make it two on the bounce. RIPSLINGER DELTA (3) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fifth (17.40) in a Class 2 at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. ATHENA JEWEL (6) will appreciate the return to this venue and warrants respect.
