Addington (G) Race 9

ACCELL THERAPY NZ SPRINT PBD

Stake: $3,200

HOMEBUSH HENRY (6) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (17.33) at this track behind Master Leo in a Class 3. Has the pace to be prominent. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. One of the leading chances. EVENING OUT (8) missed the frame latest (17.26) when fourth over 295m at this track in a Class 3. Has already won three times from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. ALPHA SHELDON (2) finished third last start over 295m at this track but was game in defeat in a good 17.13. Expecting another bold showing. OPAWA SNOWDROP (7) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Finished in the minors last time in a Class 3 at this track when a 3 length third but did run an outstanding 17.13 for the 295m trip. Can slot into the minors again.

Backs up after finishing 6th on June 18 over 390m at Ascot Park in a Class 3. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 295m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
