Addington Race 3

ANNA LEE WHISKY DASH PBD

Prize Money: $4,545

HOMEBUSH SWINDLE (2) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (17.62), beaten 3.5 lengths. Overdue and is among the main hopes. ABSINTHE (8) is worth forgiving for her last effort when seventh (18.49) at this track over 295m. Boasts a strong record from this draw with six wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. DIAMOND IVY (3) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that clocked a dynamic 17.08 win over 295m at this track. Expected to feature on best figures. OPAWA CLIFTON (7) placed last start and wasn't beaten far - in the mix again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 17.08, beating Bernie Lou. Last start finished 4th over 457m at Ascot Park beaten 10 lengths (27.01) behind Lord Arrow in a SPECq on June 24. Worth consideration on best form.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (17.79) over 295m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Faces a tough assignment this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 295m at this track. Drops down in class so keep safe.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by a nose at this track (17.39) beating Hilton Cookie in a Class 3 on June 19. Looks tested in this company.

Was out of placings last time (18.49) at this track in a Class 4, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and two places from 10 starts. Expected to feature.
