Addington Race 1

The Fitz 2 Sports Bar Sprint Pbd

Prize Money: $2,363

HOMEBUSH HENRY (7) turned in a quick 17.17 despite finishing sixth in a Class 2 FIN at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close. IMPRESSIVE ELF (1) has been racing well lately, making it two on end when saluting at this track last time over 295m in (17.20). Should be in this for a long way. MERCEDES JEWEL (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again. Something for the Multiples: HOMEBUSH JELLY (3)

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at this track over 295m (17.40) beating Goldstar Grace in Class 1 H on January 13. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2 length second but did record an outstanding 17.19 for the 295m trip. Can sneak a place again.

Last start finished 6th over 295m at this track beaten 6 lengths (17.52) behind Alpha Rascal in a Class 2 on January 17. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.
