Addington (G) Race 5

PERERA REHOMING KENNELS DASH HEAT 1 PBD

Prize Money: $4,091

DIAMOND NICKI (4) had been going along well winning a Class 1 three back then placing at this track before missing the frame latest when sixth (27.07) at Ascot Park. Expecting significant improvement. MITCHAM RENAE (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from Homebush Nelly in second (23.07) at Ascot Park. Expected to feature. MAD MADGE (6) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 5th (17.46) at this track. Has the early box speed to race on the pace. Likely to play a prominent role. LADY POPPY (7) scored by 1.3 lengths last time (17.13) in a Class 1 over 295m at this track. Has two wins already from this draw. Steps up in class for this but looks capable of handling it.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 295m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Improved sharply when second behind Homebush Nelly at Ascot Park last start over 390m (23.07). Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on May 6 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Revolving Door beaten 9 lengths (27.07) in a Class 2. Placed two back at this track. Has been racing well. Well placed and should feature.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Class 2 on May 6 over 457m at Ascot Park behind Revolving Door beaten 8 lengths (27.03). Placed two back at this track. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Has ability and worth including.

Missed the frame latest (17.46) when fifth over 295m at this track in a Class 2. Has three successes and six minors from 15 starts from box 6. Hard to beat with even luck.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, on best form is more than capable. Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.
