Addington Race 6

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Prize Money: $3,455

OPAWA ARCHIE (4) is unbeaten over this distance in seven starts. Comes off a (16.61) win last time, scoring by 5.5 lengths in a Class 3 over 295m at this track. Does rise in class but looks a very promising dog who is headed for the top class. BUSTED HANDLE (2) was in the minor money with a sharp 17.19, finishing second in a Class 4 at this track last start. Bold showing expected again. HOMEBUSH HAROLD (5) recorded a 3.5 lengths win (16.97) in a Class 3 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. GO SWEDE (6) is a last-start placegetter at big odds who will have admirers. Does maintain a solid gallop to the line over this distance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 295m in 16.97 last start, beating Mercedes Jewel. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Working his way into winning form after his success on March 12 at this track over 295m. Last start was third over 295m in 17.16, behind Opawa Elvis. Going better than form suggests. Has ability and worth including.

Most recent effort finished 5th on April 9 over 295m at this track behind Opawa Elvis beaten 7 lengths (17.39) in a Class 4. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 16.85. Well placed and among the chances here.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished sixth over 295m at this track, beaten 25 lengths. Not keen, needs to lift.
