Addington Race 4

ACTIVE ELECTRICAL CHRISTCHURCH DASH PBD

Stake: $3,100

HOMEBUSH HENRY (8) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (17.41) but scored four back at this track (16.94). Has claims if he runs up to expectations. MITCHAM TIM (7) missed the frame but produced a handy 17.15 when fourth over 295m at this track last start in a Class 5. Harder here but expected to measure up. SHANE BAXTER (3) missed the frame latest when seventh at this track (17.30) but scored four back at this track (16.89). Should be in this for a long way. CLAWS IN SPARKY (6) collected a minor prize last start in a close contest - must be considered on an each-way basis.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished last over 295m at this track beaten 6 lengths (17.30) behind Opawa Simpson in a Class 5 on March 20. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ascot Park (22.90) in a Class 3/4, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
