Addington (G) Race 2

O'SHEA'S PUBLIC HOUSE SPRINT HEAT 1 PBD

Stake: $2,800

BUSTED HANDLE (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.3 lengths win at Ascot Park in a handy 23.32. Fair draw can see a good run and has the ability and in winning form. Gets a bonus run in this grade and looks to have an edge on most of these. ROUND OF BUCKS (8) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 2.25 lengths into second (17.38) at this track in a Class 0 over 295m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Must be included in calculations. GOTCHA JASPER (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5 lengths into second (17.60) at this track in a Class 0 over 295m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature. MAD MADGE (4) cannot be written off despite a miss here at her latest outing. Will need some luck early from the draw.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.3 lengths over 390m at Ascot Park in a handy 23.32, beating Dream Ahead. Looks the one to beat again.

Yet to break through in four runs, the latest effort a second over 295m at this track in 17.60. Was on pace and game in defeat. Should go another top race.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (17.60) at big odds over 295m at this track. Well placed and among the chances here.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Class 0 on July 30 over 390m at Ascot Park behind Has Potential beaten 9 lengths (23.94). Placed two back at this track. Has claims on best form.

Has raced five times and is overdue for a win, the latest offering a second (17.38) over 295m at this track. Gave a big sight after racing on the speed much of the way. Racing well enough to fully test this line-up.
