Addington Extra Race 5

THE SPRINGSTON HOTEL FEATURE HEAT 3 PBD

Prize Money: $4,273

DURRINGTON (8) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at seven of 19 starts including seven wins but missed the frame latest when sixth (17.43) over 295m at this track. Performs well off this draw. Boxed wide but will go close with the right run. OPAWA AKAELA (6) goes very well this trip starting 18 times for nine wins and three minors. Hit the frame latest (16.99) when third at this track in a Class 5. Has been racing with merit in stronger fields and will be right amongst it. FROM NOW ON (2) brought up her 16th career win last start at this track (16.89). Has a strong record here at this journey including 10 wins. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Will go close again if runs up to latest. SALTED CARAMEL (7) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought again despite racing out of her class.

Improved sharply when third behind From Now On at this track last start over 295m (17.21). The recent effort suggests she is a genuine hope.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 295m at this track. Likely to struggle this time.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 0.7 lengths in a Class 5 at this track and clocking a hot 16.91 for the 295m trip. Well placed and can bounce back.
